Abstract
The aim of this study is to recognize the best and suitable wavelet family for analyzing cognitive memory using Electroencephalograph (EEG) signal. The participant was given some visual stimuli during the study phase, which were a sequence of pictures that had to be remembered to acquire the EEG signal. The Neurofax EEG 9200 was used to record the acquisition of cognitive memory at channel Fz. The raw EEG signals were analyzed using Wavelet Transform. A lot of mother wavelets can be used for analyzing the signal, but do not lose any information on the wavelet, some predictions must be made beforehand. The criteria of the EEG signal were narrowed down to the Daubechies, Symlets and Coiflets, and it is the final selection depending on their Mean Square Error (MSE). The best solution would have the least difference between the original and constructed signal. Results indicated that the Daubechies wavelet at a level of decomposition of 4 (db4) was the most suitable wavelet for pre-processing the raw EEG signal of cognitive memory. To conclude, choosing the suitable wavelet family is more important than relying on the MSE value alone to successfully perform a wavelet transformation.
Highlights
Working memory and short term memory storage are always related to each other, but the former can improves the exploration of other complex cognitive tasks more than the latter

Our choice of wavelet families depended on the best reconstruction in term of mean square error (MSE), which is the difference between the original signal, x(n), and compressed signal, ẍ(n)
Summary
Working memory and short term memory storage are always related to each other, but the former can improves the exploration of other complex cognitive tasks more than the latter. These relationships emphasize more on the common processing demands of working memory and complex cognitive tasks rather than storage issues. Recent researches [1] in working memory include making a distinction between what have been developed to be recognized as simple or complex spans. On the other hand, are related to the combination of both unloading primary memory and secondary memory, such as words and letters [3]. More attention is given to complex span activities
