Abstract

EEG is becoming increasingly important in the diagnosis and treatment of mental and brain neuro-degenerative diseases and abnormalities. The role of the EEG is to help physicians for establishing an accurate diagnosis. In neurology, a main diagnostic application of EEGs is in the case of epilepsy, as epileptic activity can create clear abnormalities on a standard EEG study. In this chapter, we provide a brief discussion of various uses and the significance of EEGs in brain disorder diagnosis and also in brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. In this chapter, we also discuss why EEG signal analysis and classification are required for medical and health practice and research. Then, we provide the key concepts of EEG signal classification and a brief description of computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems.
