EMD-CNN Based Classifier to Detect Schizophrenia from EEG Signals
Main Article Content
Abstract
The United Nations has designated schizophrenia (SZ) as a serious mental illness that affects 20 million people globally. Hallucinations, delusions, and incredibly chaotic thought and behavior are some of the symptoms. SZ has an impact on a person in all facets of his life and makes it challenging to go on. Traditionally, a skilled psychiatrist uses thorough and incisive patient interviews to make the diagnosis of SZ. This procedure takes a long time and could lead to mistakes. Therefore, the purpose of our effort is to assist physicians in making diagnoses effectively. In this work two different methods for the detection of SZ is compared and the results are analyzed. In the first method Local binary pattern which is a computationally simple andproven technique in image processing is modified and madecapable to be applied to the 1D EEG signal and histogram based features were extracted from it.Using the histogram features a feature matrix is formulated. The obtained matrix is used to train various machine learning models using the classification learner toolbox in matlab and K- nearest neighbour with medium kernel obtained a comparatively better training accuracy. Further this model is tested and an overall accuracy of 83.3 % is obtained. In the second method the EEG signals were decomposed using empirical mode decomposition (EMD). EMD is one of best signal processing technique that handle the nonlinear, nonstationary and aperiodic signal like EEG. EMD is performed to decompose the signal into various Intrinsic mode functions (IMF). Then differential entropy, a stastistical feature used to determine the randomness measure of a signal were extracted from the EEG signals. Further a feature matrix is formulated and it is trained andtested on the renowned deep learning model, the convolutional neural network. CNN performed well on theEEG data and an overall accuracy of 86 % is obtained. From the results we can see that the deep learning model (CNN) outperformed the machine learning model (K-NN) and is good and robust in detecting SZ using EEG signals.
