Electroencephalogram Analysis Based on Gramian Angular FieldTransformation

This paper addresses the problem of motion imagery classification from electroencephalogram signals which related with manydifficulties such on human state, measurement accuracy, etc. Artificial neural networks are a good tool to solve such kind of problems.Electroencephalogram is time series signals therefore, a Gramian Angular Fields conversion has been applied to convert it into images.GAF conversion was used for classification EEG with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). GAF images are represented as a Gramianmatrix where each element is the trigonometric sum between different time intervals. Grayscale images were applied for recognition toreduce numbers of neural network parameters and increase calculation speed. Images from each measuring channel were connectedinto one multi-channel image. This article reveals the possible usage GAF conversion of EEG signals to motion imagery recognition,which is beneficial in the applied fields, such as implement it in brain-computer interfac

Neural network analysis of electroencephalograms based on their graphical representation

The article is devoted to the problem of recognition of motor imagery based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, which is associated with many difficulties, such as the physical and mental state of a person, measurement accuracy, etc. Artificial neural networks are a good tool in solving this class of problems. Electroencephalograms are time signals, Gramian Angular Fields (GAF) and Markov Transition Field (MTF) transformations are used to represent time series as images. The paper shows the possibility of using GAF and MTF EEG signal transforms for recognizing motor patterns, which is further applicable, for example, in building a brain-computer interface
