One dimensional local binary patterns of electroencephalogram signals for detecting Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is neurodegenerative, caused by the progressive death of brain cells over time. One non-invasive approach to investigate AD is to use electroen-cephalogram (EEG) signals. The data are usually non-stationary with a strong background activity and noise which makes the analysis difficult leading to low performance in many real world applications including the detection of AD. In this study, we present a method based on local texture changes of EEG signals to differentiate AD patients from the healthy ones, using one-dimensional local binary patterns (1D-LBPs) coupled with support vector machines (SVM). Our proposed method maps the EEG data into a less detailed representation which is less sensitive to noise. A 10 fold cross validation performed at both the epoch and subject level show the discriminancy power of 1D-LBP feature vectors with application to AD data.
