Spectral information of EEG signals with respect to epilepsy classification
Abstract Background The spectral information of the EEG signal with respect to epilepsy is examined in this study. Method In order to assess the impact of the alternative definitions of the frequency sub-bands that are analysed, a number of spectral thresholds are defined and the respective frequenc...
