PSD AND WAVELET ANALYSIS OF SIGNALS FROM A HEALTHY AND EPILEPTIC PATIENT

Abstract

This study presents  one  EEG signal  from a  healthy person brain wavelet and two   EEG signals  from epilepsy patient  one of them is patient normal brain wavelet ,other is while epileptic seizure. Data are validated for reliability and validity and are obtained from data records at the University Hospital of Bonn, Germany. The datas compare using power density spectrum and continuous wavelet transformer.

Keywords

• EEG,continuous time wavelet,power spectrum density
