Abstract

The human brain is one of the most complex physiological systems. Therefore, electroencephalogram (EEG) signal modeling is important to achieve a better understanding of the physical mechanisms generating these signals. The aim of this study is to investigate the application of Kalman filter and the state space model for estimation of electroencephalogram signals in a specific pathological state. For this purpose, two types of EEG signals (normal and partial epilepsy) were analyzed. The estimation performance of the proposed method on EEG signals is evaluated using the root mean square (RMS) measurement. The result of the present study shows that this model is appropriate for the analysis of EEG recordings. In fact, this model is capable of predicting changes in EEG time series with phenomena such as epileptic spikes and seizures.
