Human Attention and Electroencephalogram

Abstract

Eyad Talal Attar

MATLAB is an advanced numerical calculation and widely used by engineers and scientists. In many studies, MATLAB is popular in fields like image, signal processing, communications, and automation systems. MATLAB reflects changes in research results efficiently. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a crucial method for exploring human brain activates. EEG provides useful evaluation data of changeability in the EEG frequencies band. Simplify the programming environment and improve the EEG results, the EEG-MATLAB coding proposed in this paper. Ten subjects of recordings were performed by electroencephalogram (EEG). EEG features were compared in two conditions: relaxing, and un-relax. For statistical analysis, a correlation coefficient was used to correlate two sessions with EEG extracted features. Therefore, the objective of this study is assistance the researchers in EEG analysis to run the code and compare the EEG bands: Delta (up to 4 Hz), Theta (4-8 Hz) waves, Alpha (8 -15 Hz) waves, Beta (15-32 Hz) waves, and Gamma ( ≥ 32 Hz) waves. Another contribution of this study can use for any analysis that used EEG in mental status research.
