Multiresolution Wavelet Transform for Detection of EEG Abnormal Rhythms

The signal of brain activity is a non-stationary random signal including lots of physiology and disease information, which is of important action for doctors to judge pathological changes in brain. So the analysis and process of the EEG signals are always attended. In this paper, the authors take account of the time-frequency localization of wavelet transform and use multiresolution wavelet transform to detect EEG abnormal rhythms. The signals of different scales after EEG signals are transformed by multiresolution wavelet transform not only reflect the frequency information of the signals, namely the more great scale is the lower of the frequency of the signals,but also reflect the time information of the signals, namely EEG state at that time. The test results indicate that the abnormal rhythms of the EEG signals can be detected effectively if right wavelet basis is selected.
