Abstract

According to a survey by the World Health Organization, the proportion of people who has difficulty in sleeping is up to 27%. Detecting the cause of these sleep disorders needs an elaborate analysis of the physiological signals of different sleep stages. Analyzing and comparing the brain electrical activity mapping energy difference of normal subjects and subjects who have the disease of nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy is introduced in this study. The brain electrical activity mapping is from the independent component analysis (ICA) of the Electroencephalograph (EEG) waveform. The EEG data set is coming from the CAP sleep database. The control group uses the data of n3, n10, and n11. The experimental group uses the data of nfle1, nfle2, and nfle3. The EEGLAB, a toolbox in MATLAB, is used to preprocess the EEG waveform and locate the area where signals are generated in the brain. The preprocessing steps include channel locations, selecting data, filtering, re-referencing the data, ICA, and artifact rejection. After the preprocessing, there are 13 electrodes retained and the energy difference of the brain electrical activity mapping will be compared between the control group and the experimental group by observation.
