Table 2.

Main features extracted from the EEG by the SDA.

Groups Feature list
Frequency domain
  • Total power (0–12 Hz)

  • Peak frequency of spectrum

  • Spectral edge frequency (80%, 90%, 95%)

  • Power in 2 Hz width sub-bands (0–2 Hz, 1–3 Hz, ...10–12 Hz)

  • Normalised power in sub-bands

  • Wavelet energy (the EEG is decomposed into 8 coefficients using the Daubechy 4 wavelet, the energy in the 5th coefficient corresponding to 1–2 Hz is used as a feature)




Time domain
  • Curve length

  • Number of maxima and minima

  • Root mean squared amplitude

  • Hjorth parameters

  • Zero crossings (raw epoch, Δ, ΔΔ)

  • Autoregressive modelling error (model order 1–9)

  • Skewness

  • Kurtosis

  • Nonlinear energy

  • Variance (Δ, ΔΔ)




Information theory:
  • Shannon entropy

  • Singular value decomposition entropy

  • Fisher information

  • Spectral entropy
