Abstract:

We propose a methodology for classification of relatively-short multivariate EEG records. This methodology is based on the theory of the ?-complexity of continuous functions which is extended here to the case of vector-functions. This extension permits us to handle multichannel EEG recordings. The essence of the methodology is to use the ?-complexity coefficients as features to classify different types of vector-functions representing EEG-records corresponding to different mental states. We apply our methodology to the problem of classification of two sets of multichannel EEG-records. The first one is a classification of EEG records into alcoholic and control groups. The second one is related to a group of healthy adolescents and a group of adolescents with schizophrenia. We have established that in both cases we obtained an accurate classification in the 4-dimensional spaces of ?-complexity coefficients. For classification in these cases the best results were achieved by the Random Forest classifier. The obtained results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
