Multivariate analysis of the EEG signal for the detection of Schizophrenia condition is proposed here. Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition (MEMD) is used to decompose the EEG signal into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF) signal. The randomness measure of the IMF signal is determined by computing the entropy of the signal. Five entropy measures such as Approximate entropy, Sample entropy, Permutation entropy, Spectral entropy, and Singular Value Decomposition entropy are measured from the IMF signal. These entropy measures showed a significant difference ( p < 0.01) between the healthy controls (HC) and Schizophrenia (SZ) subjects. Many state-of-the-art (SoA) machine learning classifiers are trained on the feature matrix obtained from entropy values of the IMF signal, amongst them Support Vector Machine based on Radial Basis Function (SVM-RBF) provided the highest accuracy and F1-score of 93% for the 95 features. The area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.9831 was obtained using this classifier. These performance metrics suggests that computation of randomness measure such as entropy in the multivariate IMF domain provided better discriminating power in detection of Schizophrenia condition from the multichannel EEG signal.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder prevalent in old age. Past studies have shown that speech can be used as an early marker for identification of PD. It affects a number of speech components such as phonation, speech intensity, articulation, and respiration, which alters the speech intelligibility. Speech feature extraction and classification always have been challenging tasks due to the existence of non-stationary and discontinuity in the speech signal. In this study, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based features are demonstrated to capture the speech characteristics. A new feature, intrinsic mode function cepstral coefficient (IMFCC) is proposed to efficiently represent the characteristics of Parkinson speech. The performances of proposed features are assessed with two different datasets: dataset-1 and dataset-2 each having 20 normal and 25 Parkinson affected peoples. From the results, it is demonstrated that the proposed intrinsic mode function cepstral coefficient feature provides superior classification accuracy in both data-sets. There is a significant increase of 10–20% in accuracy compared to the standard acoustic and Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) features.

The recognition of human activities is a topic of great relevance due to its wide range of applications. Different approaches have been proposed to recognize human activities, ranging from the comparison of signals with thresholds to the application of deep and machine learning techniques. In this work, the classification of six human activities (walking, walking downstairs, walking upstairs, standing, sitting, and lying down) is performed using bidirectional LSTM networks that exploit intrinsic mode function (IMF) representation of inertial signals. Records with inertial signals (accelerometer and gyroscope) of 2.56 s, available at the UCI Machine Learning Repository, were collected from 30 subjects using a smartphone. First, inertial signals were standardized to take them to the same scale and were decomposed into IMF using the improved complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (ICEEMDAN). IMF were then segmented (split) into nine segments of 1.28 s with 12.5% overlap and introduced to a first network with four outputs to identify the dynamic activities and the statics as a single class called ‘‘statics’’, giving 98.86% accuracy. Then, the non-segmented IMF of the records assigned to the statics class were introduced to a second network to classify their three activities, giving an accuracy of 88.46%. In total, 92.91% accuracy was obtained to classify the six human activities. This performance is because ICEEMDAN allowed the extraction of information that was embedded in the signal, and the segmentation of the IMF allowed the network to discriminate between static and dynamic activities.

Phonocardiogram (PCG) recordings contain valuable information about the functioning and state of the heart that is useful in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. The first heart sound (S1) and the second heart sound (S2), produced by the closing of the atrioventricular valves and the closing of the semilunar valves, respectively, are the fundamental sounds of the heart. The similarity in morphology and duration of these heart sounds and their superposition in the frequency domain makes it difficult to use them in computer systems to provide an automatic diagnosis. Therefore, in this paper, we analyzed these heart sounds in the intrinsic mode functions (IMF) domain, which were issued from two time-frequency decomposition techniques, the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and the improved complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (ICEEMDAN), with the aim of retrieving useful information on an expanded basis. The decomposition of PCG recordings into IMF allows representing the fundamental cardiac sounds in many oscillating components, increasing thus the observability of the system. Moreover, the time-frequency representation of PCG recordings could provide valuable information to automatically detect heart sounds and diagnose pathologies from characteristic patterns of these heart sounds in the IMF. The analysis was made through the variance and Shannon's entropy of the heart sounds, observed in time windows located among different IMF. In addition, we determined the frequencies ranges of the IMF from the decomposition of the PCG recordings using both techniques. Given that the frequency content of S1 and S2 is different but overlap each other, and the duration of these sounds are also different, these heart sounds were represented in different IMF with different variances and entropies, in both techniques, but the ICEEMDAN offers a more consistent decomposition of S1 and S2 (they were concentrated in IMF 4-6). The decomposition of PCG signals into IMF has allowed us to identify the frequency components of the IMF in which these sounds are found.

In this work, we compare Fourier transform, wavelet transform, and empirical mode decomposition (EMD), and point out that EMD method decomposes complex signal into a series of component functions through curves of local mean value. Each of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs - component functions) contains all the information on the original signal. Therefore, it is more suitable for the interface identification of logging sequence strata. Well logging data reflect rich geological information and belong to non-linear and non-stationary signals and EMD method can deal with non-stationary and non-linear signals very well. By selecting sensitive parameters combination that reflects the regional geological structure and lithology, the combined parameter can be decomposed through EMD method to study the correlation and the physical meaning of each intrinsic mode function. Meanwhile, it identifies the stratigraphy and cycle sequence perfectly and provides an effective signal treatment method for sequence interface.
