Applications of power spectrum analyses

References Data type Subjects Method Disease/state Application Effect evaluation
Ogilvie et al. [20] EEG 18–25 years (male = 1, females = 8) FFT Sleep stages Used the FFT method to reflect the energy changes during the onset and phase transition of sleep During the transition from stage 2 to REM sleep, observable systematic changes in EEG power density were reported across four standard frequency bands
Hadjiyannakis et al. [21] EEG Normal (n = 9) FFT Sleep stages Conducted an in-depth study of sleep 20 years ago using the FFT method, which reflected energy changes during the onset and staging transitions of sleep Sleep onset was identified in this study by the cessation of responses coupled with sharp increases in EEG synchronization
Sun et al. [22] EEG SZ (males = 36, females = 18) FFT SZ Adopted the FFT method to explore the EEG features of schizophrenic patients An average accuracy of 96.34% was attained using FFT in this study
Behnam et al. [23] EEG Autism disorders (n = 10) FFT Autism disorders Utilized the FFT method to analyze EEG differences in autistic patients with different electrodes and achieved significant performance at the FP1, F3 position STFT-BW demonstrated an 82.4% discrimination rate between normal and autistic subjects using the Mahalanobis distance, whereas FFT and STFT did not yield significant results
