In this study, Independent Component Analysis (ICA) algorithms are suggested to extract the original ECG part from the mixed signal contaminated with the unwanted frequency components and especially 60Hz power line disturbances. With this aim, we implement a novel method to suppress the baseline-wandering disturbances and power line artefacts contained in patch-electrodes sensory ECG data by separating the unmixed signal with finding the optimal weight W based on Kurtosis value. With applying brutal force and gradient ascent searching algorithm to find W, we can conclude that the unwanted frequency components especially in the ambulatory ECG data can be eliminated by Independent Component Analysis.

We have fabricated a low-noise 61-channel axial-type first-order gradiometer system for measuring fetal magnetocardiography(MCG) signals. Superconducting quantum interference device(SQUID) sensor was based on double relaxation oscillation SQUID(DROS) for detecting biomagnetic signal, such as MCG, magnetoencphalogram(MEG) and fetal-MCG. The SQUID sensor detected axial component of fetal MCG signal. The pickup coil of SQUID sensor was wound with 120 ${\mu}m$ NbTi wire on bobbin(20 mm diameter) and was a first-order gradiometer to reject the environment noise. The sensors have low white noise of 3 $fT/Hz^{1/2}$ at 100 Hz on average. The fetal MCG was measured from $24{\sim}36$ weeks fetus in a magnetically shielded room(MSR) with shielding factor of 35 dB at 0.1 Hz and 80 dB at 100 Hz(comparatively mild shielding). The MCG signal contained maternal and fetal MCG. Fetal MCG could be distinguished relatively easily from maternal MCG by using independent component analysis(ICA) filter. In addition, we could observe T peak as well as QRS wave, respectively. It will be useful in detecting fetal cardiac diseases.

Early detection of mild cognitive impairment can help prevent the progression of dementia. The purpose of this study was to design and validate a machine learning model that automatically differential diagnosed patients with mild cognitive impairment and identified cognitive decline characteristics compared to a control group with normal cognition using resting-state quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) with eyes closed. In the first step, a rectified signal was obtained through a preprocessing process that receives a quantitative EEG signal as an input and removes noise through a filter and independent component analysis (ICA). Frequency analysis and non-linear features were extracted from the rectified signal, and the 3067 extracted features were used as input of a linear support vector machine (SVM), a representative algorithm among machine learning algorithms, and classified into mild cognitive impairment patients and normal cognitive adults. As a result of classification analysis of 58 normal cognitive group and 80 patients in mild cognitive impairment, the accuracy of SVM was 86.2%. In patients with mild cognitive impairment, alpha band power was decreased in the frontal lobe, and high beta band power was increased in the frontal lobe compared to the normal cognitive group. Also, the gamma band power of the occipital-parietal lobe was decreased in mild cognitive impairment. These results represented that quantitative EEG can be used as a meaningful biomarker to discriminate cognitive decline.

본 연구에서는 공개된 뇌파 데이터인 DEAP(A Database for Emotion Analysis using Physiological Signals) 데이터 세트를 활용한 감정분류 분석 및 정확도 향상에 대한 실험을 진행하였다. 실험에는 32명에 대한 32개의 뇌파측정 채널 데이터가 모두 사용되었다. 전처리과정에서는 뇌파 데이터에 대한 256Hz 샘플링작업을 진행하였고, 유한 임펄스 응답 필터를 사용하여 주파수 대역별로 쎄타(4-8Hz), 슬로 알파(8-10Hz), 알파(8-12Hz), 베타(12-30Hz), 감마(31-45Hz) 파형에 대한 데이터를 추출하였다. 추출한 데이터는 시간-주파수 변형을 통하여 데이터의 상태를 구분한 후에, 독립성분분석방법을 통해 잡음(Artifact)을 제거하여 데이터를 정제했다. 도출된 데이터는 분류기 기계학습 알고리즘 실험을 시행할 수 있도록 CSV 파일로 변형 하였으며, 감정분류에는 Arousal-Valence 평면을 사용하였다. 감정은 "긍정적(Positive)", "부정적(Negative)" 이외에 평온한 상태로 존재하는 "중립적(Neutral)"의 3가지 상태로 분류하였다. 정확도를 개선하기 위해서 랜덤 포레스트(Random Forest) 알고리즘에 속성 선택적 분류기(Attribute Selected Classifier: ASC) 방식에 의해 선택된 속성을 적용하여 실험하였다. 정확도는 "각성(Arousal)" 부분에서 Koelstra의 결과보다 "32.48%" 높은 결과가 도출되었고, Liu의 실험의 "정서가(Valence)"와 비교해보면 ASC(Random Forest) 결과가 "8.13%" 더 높은 결과를 도출하였다. 정확도를 개선하기 위해 ASC 방식을 적용한 랜덤 포레스트 분류기 실험결과에서는 전체평균을 기준으로 기존 연구 결과와 대비하여 "2.68%" 높은 정확도가 도출되었다.
