General use of EEG sensors for mind controlled devices
Blažej, Svätopluk ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Marcoň, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with various types of sensors for collection of EEG data and their application in mind-controlled devices. This work also deals with the issue of EEG signal measurement and its further analysis, how to choose the right sensor, and right design and construction of the device for data collection, amplification and filtration of the signal obtained by the selected sensor. Further, this project aims to develop software for translation (transformation) of the obtained data in order to enable communication and control of external devices.

The influence of deep brain stimulation on the brain connectivity
Horváthová, Ľubica ; Výtvarová, Eva (referee) ; Klimeš, Petr (advisor)
Hĺbková mozgová stimulácia (DBS) predstavuje účinnú liečbu pre pacientov s Parkinsonovou chorobou (PD) alebo farmakorezistentnou epilepsiou. Avšak mechanizmy, ktorými znižuje počet záchvatov a zlepšuje pohyb, zostávajú ešte do značnej miery neznáme. Pre lepšie pochopenie a určenie, v ktorých frekvenčných pásmach je zmena najdôležitejšia, boli urobené porovnania medzi vypnutou a zapnutou DBS pomocou korelačnej metódy a indexu fázového posunu. Jedenásť pacientov s PD a naimplantovanými neurostimulátormi z firiem Medtronic a St.Jude Medical bolo predmetom nahraných dát použitých v tejto práci. Výsledky dokazujú, že zmena konektivity počas DBS nastane a zároveň, že najviac ovplyvňuje najvyššie frekvencie ako beta, nízka gama a vysoká gama. Zmeny v týchto frekvenciách, zodpovedné za motorickú aktivitu, sústredenie a spracovanie informácií, sú v súlade s klinickou teóriou o PD. Počas tejto choroby je patologická beta aktivita hypersynchronizovaná a gama aktivita je znížená práve v motorických oblastiach. Ak sa gama aktivita počas zapnutej stimulácie zvyšuje, fyziologický stav pacientov sa čiastočne znovuobnovuje a tým zlepšuje ich hybnosť. Metódy a výsledky tejto práce budú použité pre ďalší výskum pacientov s PD a epilepsiou.

Sleep stages classification
Nováková, Kateřina ; Ronzhina, Marina (referee) ; Potočňák, Tomáš (advisor)
This work deals with the basic description of polysomnography, sleep morphology and sleep stages. Furtherly, some methods to process electroencephalographic signals are mentioned. Those processing methods are mainly focused on sleep stage classification. The practical part deals with the realization of three classification algorithms using artificial neural networks and verifying the functionality of these methods. All algorithms are designed in Matlab. Feature vectors for individual methods are obtained using energy values, Welch's spectral analysis and Hilbert-Huang Transform. For classification three types of artificial neural networks were used - layer recurrent network, feedforward network and pattern recognition network. On the basis of feature vectors, the sleep is divided into three stages - wakefulness (W), sleep without rapid eye movements (NREM) and sleep with rapid eye movements (REM).

Analysis of connections between simultaneous EEG and fMRI data
Labounek, René ; Kremláček,, Jan (referee) ; Lamoš, Martin (advisor)
Electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance are two different methods for measuring of neural activity. EEG signals have excellent time resolution, fMRI scans capture records of brain activity in excellent spatial resolution. It is assumed that the joint analysis can take advantage of both methods simultaneously. Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM8) is freely available software which serves to automatic analysis of fMRI data estimated with general linear model. It is not possible to estimate automatic EEG–fMRI analysis with it. Therefore software EEG Regressor Builder was created during master thesis. It preprocesses EEG signals into EEG regressors which are loaded with program SPM8 where joint EEG–fMRI analysis is estimated in general linear model. EEG regressors consist of vectors of temporal changes in absolute or relative power values of EEG signal in the specified frequency bands from selected electrodes due to periods of fMRI acquisition of individual images. The software is tested on the simultaneous EEG-fMRI data of a visual oddball experiment. EEG regressors are calculated for temporal changes in absolute and relative EEG power values in three frequency bands of interest ( 8-12Hz, 12-20Hz a 20-30Hz) from the occipital electrodes (O1, O2 and Oz). Three types of test analyzes is performed. Data from three individuals is examined in the first. Accuracy of results is evaluated due to the possibilities of setting of calculation method of regressor. Group analysis of data from twenty-two healthy patients is performed in the second. Group EEG regressors analysis is realized in the third through the correlation matrix due to the specified type of power and frequency band outside of the general linear model.

Joint EEG-fMRI analysis based on heuristic model
Janeček, David ; Kremláček, Jan (referee) ; Labounek, René (advisor)
The master thesis deals with the joint EEG-fMRI analysis based on a heuristic model that describes the relationship between changes in blood flow in active brain areas and in the electrical activity of neurons. This work also discusses various methods of extracting of useful information from the EEG and their influence on the final result of joined analysis. There were tested averaging methods of electrodes interest, decomposition by principal components analysis and decomposition by independent component analysis. Methods of averaging and decomposition by PCA give similar results, but information about a stimulus vector can not be extracted. Using ICA decomposition, we are able to obtain information relating to the certain stimulation, but there is the problem in the final interpretation and selection of the right components in a blind search for variability coupled with the experiment. It was found out that although components calculated from the time sequence EEG are independent for each to other, their spectrum shifts are correlated. This spectral dependence was eliminated by PCA / ICA decomposition from vectors of spectrum shifts. For this method, each component brings new information about brain activity. The results of the heuristic approach were compared with the results of the joined analysis based on the relative and absolute power approach from frequency bands of interest. And the similarity between activation maps was founded, especially for the heuristic model and the relative power from the gamma band (20-40Hz).

Electrical Activity Brain Mapping
Dobeš, Petr ; Drahanský, Martin (referee) ; Kupková, Karolína (advisor)
Electrical activity of human brain is one of the most significant signals of biological origin. In order to understand and interpret electroencephalogram (EEG signal) correctly, it is often necessary to perform its visualization. This bachelor thesis deals with EEG signal and its visualization using topographic mapping. The work includes the basics of theory and processing of EEG signal. Moreover, this work consists of design proposal and implementation of an application for topographic mapping of EEG signal obtained using Emotiv Epoc Headset device. Visualization is performed in real time (at the time of measurement). Visualized quantities are amplitude and frequency domain with the possibility to select frequency bands. Implemented application represents an alternative to the procedure when EEG signal has to be recorded and stored in order to perform its visualization.
