Complex Structures on EEG data
Electroencephalogram (EEG) are used in signal processing as tools to measure abnormalities in brain waves. Their nonlinearity often conveys information about the brain health condition of a subject. It was shown that they possess deterministic chaos and thus a strange attractor. In this talk, I will show how to use Takens' embedding theory to embed a strange attractor constructed from chaotic EEG into a manifold of high dimension, then use dimension reduction (Isomap, Kernel Ridge Regression, Fast ICA, or tSNE) and data morphometry to obtain a complex structure whose volume is a biomarker in the case of Epilepsy or sleep data.
