3. 1 in 4 people is affected by mental illness.
8.6 millions adults have suicidal thoughts.
Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death.
1 in 30 people experience PTSD
(Posttraumatic Stress Disorder).
Children with anxiety disorders are least
likely to receive treatment.
10. Electroencephalography
Electroencephalography (EEG) is the recording of electrical activity of the brain
Band Frequency
(Hz)
Represented status
Delta < 4 Slow-wave sleep
Theta 4 – 7 Inhibition of excited responses
Alpha 8 – 15 Relaxed, Inhibition control
Beta 16-31 Anxious, active thinking, focus, high
alert
Gamma > 32 Cross-modal sensory perception
11. Electroencephalography
Applications, so far
Diagnose epilepsy and types of seizures
Check if a person is brain dead
Study sleep disorders
Monitor brain activity during surgery
Differentiate a physical problem with a mental health problem
Diagnose brain dysfunction
…..and many more
12. Objective of our project
To use EEG to analyze the mental state of a person
13. Objective of our project
To use EEG to analyze the mental state of a person
Use the features of EEG signals to help in psychological diagnosis of a person

15. Literature review
Richard Caton: 1875 A.D
discovered electrical activities the brain of rabbits and monkeys .
Napolean Cybulski and Jelenska-Macieszyna : 1914 A.D.
Photographed the first ever EEG Signal of experimentally induced seizure.
Hans Berger : 1924 A.D.
the first ever EEG machine, invented Electroencephalogram.
William Grey Walter : 1950 A.D.
invented EEG topography, mapping of electrical activity of the brain across the scalp.
2004
Open EEG released open source hardware and software for ball balancing game.
2014
OpenBCI released that has 8-16 channels and uses EKG and EMG alongside EEG
22. Daubechies Wavelet Transform
Why ?
Both time and frequency domain
Varying window size, broad at low frequencies and narrow at
high
Better suited for analysis of sudden and transient signal changes
Better poised to analyze irregular data patterns, that is, impulses
existing at different time instances
Near optimal time-frequency localization properties
Waveforms similar to the EEG waveforms
