Advanced Electroencephalography Analytical Methods

Advanced Electroencephalography Analytical Methods: Fundamentals, Acquisition, and Applications presents the theoretical basis and applications of electroencephalography (EEG) signals in neuroscience, involving signal analysis, processing, signal acquisition, representation, and applications of EEG signal analysis using non-linear approaches and machine learning. It explains principles of neurophysiology, linear signal processing, computational intelligence, and the nature of signals including machine learning. Applications involve computer-aided diagnosis, brain-computer interfaces, rehabilitation engineering, and applied neuroscience.

This book:

• Includes a comprehensive review on biomedical signals nature and acquisition aspects
• Focuses on selected applications of neuroscience/cardiovascular/muscle-related biomedical areas
• Provides a machine learning update to a classical biomedical signal processing approach
• Explains deep learning and application to biomedical signal processing and analysis
• Explores relevant biomedical engineering and neuroscience state-of-the-art applications

This book is intended for researchers and graduate students in biomedical signal processing, electrical engineering, neuroscience, and computer science.

Ganesh Naik, ranked in the top 2% of researchers in Biomedical Engineering (Stanford University Research), is a leading expert in biomedical engineering and signal processing. He received his Ph.D. degree in Electronics Engineering, specializing in biomedical engineering and signal processing, from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University, Melbourne, Australia, in December 2009. Currently, he is an academic and research theme co-lead at Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia. He held a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at MARCS Institute, Western Sydney University (WSU) between July 2017 to July 2020 and worked on a Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) project for sleep. During his tenure at WSU, he has developed several novel algorithms for wearables related to sleep projects. Before that, he held a Chancellor's Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship position in the Centre for Health Technologies, University of Technology Sydney (UTS), between February 2013 and June 2017. As a mid-career researcher, he has edited 12 books and authored around 150 papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences. Ganesh serves as an associate editor for IEEE Access, Frontiers in Neurorobotics, and two Springer journals (Circuits, Systems, and Signal Processing and Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine). He is a Baden–Württemberg Scholarship recipient from Berufsakademie, Stuttgart, Germany (2006–2007). In 2010, he was awarded an ISSI overseas fellowship from Skilled Institute Victoria, Australia.

Wellington Pinheiro dos Santos holds a degree in electrical and electronic engineering (2001) and a master's degree in electrical engineering (2003) from the Federal University of Pernambuco, and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Campina Grande (2009).
