During the supervisory activities of the brain, the electrical activities of nerve cell clusters produce oscillations. These complex biopotential oscillations are called electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Certain diseases, such as epilepsy, can be detected by measuring these signals. Epilepsy is a disease that manifests itself as seizures. These seizures manifest themselves in different characteristics. These different characteristics divide epilepsy seizure types into two main groups: generalized and partial epilepsy. This study aimed to classify different types of epilepsy from EEG signals. For this purpose, a scalogram-based, deep learning approach has been developed. The utilized classification process had the following main steps: the scalogram images were obtained by using the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) method. So, a one-dimension EEG time series was converted to a two-dimensional time-frequency data set in order to extract more features. Then, the increased dimension data set (CWT scalogram images) was applied to the convolutional neural network (CNN) as input patterns for classifying the images. The EEG signals were taken from Dicle University, Neurology Clinic of Medical School. This data consisted of four classes: healthy brain waves, generalized preseizure, generalized seizure, and partial epilepsy brain waves. With the proposed method, the average accuracy performance of three of the EEG records' classes (healthy, generalized preseizure, and generalized seizure), and that of all four classes of EEG records were 90.16 % (± 0.20) and 84.66 % (± 0.48). According to these results, regarding the specific accuracy ratings of the recordings, the healthy EEG records scored 91.29 %, generalized epileptic seizure records were at 96.50 %, partial seizure EEG records scored 89.63 %, and the preseizure EEG records had a 90.44 % rating. The results of the proposed method were compared to the results of both similar studies and conventional methods. As a result, the performance of the proposed method was found to be acceptable.

(IEEE, 2017) Turk, Omer; Seker, Mesut; Akpolat, Veysi; Ozerdem, Mchmet Sirac; Türk, Ömer
The effects of mental activities on brain dynamics is the main field that studied for a long time, but the results of studies have not reached the desired level. The aim of present study was to classify the mental task EEG records by using Hjorth parameters. hi this study, EEG signals that recorded from 9 subjects were used. EEG signals were recorded by applying a experimental paradigm which contains five stimuli related to different mental task. These stimuli are defined as condition word mental subtraction spatial navigation right hand motor imagery and feet motor imagery Wavelet packet transform was used to obtain sub bands of EEC signals. Statistical parameters that consist of mobility, complexity and Mahalanobis distance were applied to sub-bands. Feature vectors were classified by using artificial neural network. When classification performances related to mental activities were examined, the best classification accuracy was obtained as nearly 80% for 'condition word - mental subtraction', ('spatial navigation feet motor imagery;' and 'spatial navigation - condition word'. The lowest classification accuracy was obtained for 'mental subtraction - right hand motor imagery,', 'condition word - right hand motor imagery' and 'spatial navigation right hand motor imagery'. The classification accuracies related to all stimuli that classifed among themselves were obtained as 77,61%.
Pulslu Elektromanyetik Alanın Sıçanlarda Kan Glukoz Düzeyleri ve Kilo Artışı Üzerine Etkilerinin Değerlendirilmesi
(2024) Gencer, Harun; Bilgin, Hakkı Murat; Akpolat, Veysi; Erkan, Revşa Evin Canpolat; Baksi, Nazan
Amaç: Bu çalışmada Pulslu Elektromanyetik Alanın (PEMA) kan glukoz düzeyleri ve kilo artışı üzerine etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda 23 adet Wistar Albino sıçan kullanıldı. Sıçanlar kontrol grubu (n=7), PEMA grubu (n=8) ve PEMA+Cvit. grubu (n=8) olmak üzere 3 gruba ayrıldı. PEMA ve PEMA+Cvit. grupları 4 hafta boyunca 08.00 ile 12.00 saatleri arasında oluşturulan pulslu elektromanyetik alana maruz bırakıldı. Kontrol grubu da manyetik alan oluşturulmadan aynı çevre şartlarına maruz bırakıldı. Manyetik alan uygulanmadan önce kontrol ve PEMA gruplarına gavaj yolu ile çeşme suyu verildi. PEMA+Cvit. grubuna da gavaj yolu ile C vitamini verildi. Her hafta sıçanların kuyruk veninden glukoz değerleri ölçülüp ağırlık takipleri yapıldı. Bulgular: Deney başlangıcında ve haftalık olarak yapılan ölçümlerde. Kan glukoz düzeylerinde gruplar arasında anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmedi (p>0,05). Ağırlık ölçümlerin de başlangıç ve bitiş değerleri hesaplandı. Kontrol grubunda başlangıç değerine göre %11’lik bir artışın ve bu artışın anlamlı olmadığı (P>0,05) belirlendi. PEMA grubunda %13’lük bir artışın ve PEMA+Cvit. grubun da %15’lik bir artışın olduğu saptandı. Bu artışların istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu (P<0,05) tespit edildi. Sonuç: PEMA uygulamasının kan glukoz düzeylerinde anlamlı bir değişikliğe yol açmadığı fakat kilo artışı üzerinde anlamlı bir fark oluşturduğu saptandı.
