by researchers in bioengineering, neuroscience, psychiatry, neuroimaging, and brain–computer interfacing. It can also be used for teaching bioengineering and neuroengineering at different university levels.

      In this second edition, the number of chapters has increased from 7 to 18 by covering and extending the content in each chapter and adding many new topics for analysis of EEG signals including: (i) offering deeper understanding and insight into the generation of EEG signals and modelling the brain EEG generators in Chapters 2 and 3, (ii) being more inclusive in the domains of theoretical and practical aspects in EEG single‐ and multichannel signal processing including static and dynamic systems within multimodal and multiway mathematical models in Chapters 36, and (iii) providing a comprehensive and detailed approach to AI, particularly machine learning approaches, starting from traditional crisp classification to advanced deep feature learning approaches in Chapter 7.

      Chapter 8 addresses brain coherency, synchrony, and connectivity. This chapter introduces a completely new topic of cooperative learning and adaptive filtering into the domain of brain connectivity and its applications. Chapter 9 introduces the brain response to audio, visual, and tactile events when they are regularly presented or targeted in an odd ball paradigm. The important topic of brain source localization, using both forward and inverse problems, is addressed in Chapter 10. A vast range of applications of these three chapters is given in the ensuing chapters.

      From Chapter 11 onwards, more practical and clinically demanding approaches are discussed with the help and direct application of the theoretical developments in the previous chapters. Seizure and epileptic waveforms are studied comprehensively in Chapter 11. This chapter includes a very innovative approach using DNNs to model the pathways between the generators of epileptiform discharges to the scalp electrode recordings.

      The fundamental objectives of new and advanced materials included in Chapters 1214 are to assess the cortical brain waves, the coherency and connectivity within various brain zones, and the brain responses to different stimuli while the subject is in different states of awake, sleep, mentally tired, and under different emotions. Chapters 15 and 16 introduce the state‐of the‐art techniques in signal processing and machine learning for recognition of degenerative diseases and neurodevelopmental disorders respectively.

      In the treatment of various topics covered within this research monograph it is assumed that the reader has a background in the fundamentals of digital signal processing and machine learning and wishes to focus on EEG analysis. It is hoped that the concepts covered in each chapter provide a solid foundation for future research and development in the field.

      As we concluded in the first edition, we do wish to stress that in this book there is no attempt to challenge previous clinical or diagnostic knowledge. Instead, the tools and algorithms described in this book can, we believe, potentially enhance the significant information within EEG signals and thereby aid physicians and ultimately provide more cost effective and efficient diagnostic tools.

      Both authors wish to thank most sincerely our Research Associates and PhD students who have contributed so much to the materials in this work.

      Preface to the First Edition

      There is ever‐increasing global demand for more affordable and effective clinical and healthcare services. New techniques and equipment must therefore be developed to aid in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of abnormalities and diseases of the human body. Biomedical signals (biosignals) in their manifold forms are rich information sources, which when appropriately processed have the potential to facilitate such advancements. In today's technology, such processing is very likely to be digital, as confirmed by the inclusion of digital signal processing concepts as core training in biomedical engineering degrees. Recent advancements in digital signal processing are expected to underpin key aspects of the future progress in biomedical research and technology, and it is the purpose of this research monograph to highlight this trend for the processing of measurements of brain activity, primarily electroencephalograms (EEGs).

      Most of the concepts in multichannel EEG digital signal processing have their origin in distinct application areas such as communications engineering, seismics, speech and music signal processing, together with the processing of other physiological signals, such as electrocardiograms (ECGs) The particular topics in digital signal processing first explained in this research monograph include: definitions; illustrations; time domain, frequency domain, and time–frequency domain processing; signal conditioning; signal transforms; linear and nonlinear filtering; chaos definition, evaluation, and measurement; certain classification algorithms; adaptive systems; independent component analysis; and multivariate autoregressive modelling. In addition, motivated by research in the field over the last two decades, techniques specifically related to EEG processing such as brain source localization, detection and classification of event‐related potentials, sleep signal analysis, seizure detection and prediction, together with brain–computer interfacing are comprehensively explained and, with the help of suitable graphs and (topographic) images, simulation results are provided to assess the efficacy of the methods.
