Computerized EEG research in Tampere
The
Tampere group has studied the computerized analysis of the EEG
and related physiological signals since 1984 in different
projects
financed by the Academy of Finland and the Occupational Safety Fund.
Some of the projects are related to the
science programs of the European
Union.
The application areas include epilepsy, sleep, vigilance, and
anaesthesia. The studies have been carried out in co-operation
with the Signal Processing Laboratory of Tampere University of
Technology, the Health Care Technology Group of Laboratory of
Information Technology of the Technical Research Center of Finland,
Tampere University Hospital,
the Medical Faculty of Tampere University and most recently the
Electronics Laboratory of Tampere University of Technology.
The applied methods include adaptive segmentation, nonlinear
filtering, transforms, conventional pattern recognition, artificial
intelligence, heuristics, fuzzy systems analysis and neural networks.
Some EEG data has been made available for research purposes in
EDF format in our ftp site in the address
ftp://sigftp.cs.tut.fi/pub/eeg-data/. The data are not annotated
and the user has to understand their contents him/herself. There are
also some MS-DOS programs for the manipulation of the EDF files. (Students
who are unaware what 16-bit binary integer files are should ask
that from their supervisors.)
