Morphological Operations on EEG Signals for Spike Detection

EEG stands for electroencephalogram and is the brain activity of human. This EEG play major role in mental condition of a person and to early stage detection of any brain disorders due to various reasons. Due to spikes in EEG signal of a person, cognitive decline, disorders in attention etc can be seen particularly in children. This leads to educational and behavioral impairment which is a major challenge. In this work, a method to detect spikes and its amplitude, location and duration in EEG signal is followed which helps in early stage detection of the disorder. However the severity of the epilepsy is not related to the amplitude of the spikes in EEG, but the occurrence of disorder due to various drug effects, depression can be detected in early stage using this approach.
