Automatic adaptive segmentation of clinical EEGs

Abstract

A method of automatic adaptive segmentation of EEGs, whereby the boundaries between different patterns of activity appearing in a given channel are identified and demarcated, has been applied to a group of clinical EEGs. The EEGs were especially selected from a library of 70 recordings so as to include a diversity of normal and abnormal EEG patterns. In the subsequent steps of the analysis, like segments were automatically clustered and a dendrogram plotted, from which the principal clusters or types of activity were visually selected. For the latter, a temporal profile was then plotted, indicating which type of activity was present at any given time during the respective recording. Summary parameters of mean amplitude and a measure of mean frequency were plotted alongside the temporal profile. The findings are as follows. (1) A single set of segmentation parameters was found to be clinically satisfactory for the entire group. (2) The inappropriateness of adaptive segmentation for the isolation of spikes and sharp waves, which had been anticipated in view of the short duration of such transients in relation to the length of the window (1.2 sec) used for the autocorrelation functions employed in the segmentation algorithm, was c...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
