The Human brain consists of mutually connected neuronal populations that build anatomically and functionally separated structures. To understand human brain activity and connectivity, it is crucial to describe how these structures are connected and how information is spread. Commonly used methods often work with data from scalp EEG, with a limited number of contacts, and are incapable of observing dynamic changes during cognitive processes or different behavioural states. In addition, connectivity studies almost never analyse pathological parts of the brain, which can have a crucial impact on pathology research and treatment. The aim of this work is connectivity analysis and its evolution in time during cognitive tasks using data from intracranial EEG. Physiological processes in cognitive stimulation and the local connectivity of pathology in the epileptic brain during wake and sleep were analysed. The results provide new insight into human brain physiology research. This was achieved by an innovative approach which combines connectivity methods with EEG spectral power calculation. The second part of this work focuses on seizure onset zone (SOZ) connectivity in the epileptic brain. The results describe the functional isolation of the SOZ from the surrounding tissue, which may contribute to clinical research and epilepsy treatment.

abstract: The marked increase in the inflow of remotely sensed data from satellites have trans- formed the Earth and Space Sciences to a data rich domain creating a rich repository for domain experts to analyze. These observations shed light on a diverse array of disciplines ranging from monitoring Earth system components to planetary explo- ration by highlighting the expected trend and patterns in the data. However, the complexity of these patterns from local to global scales, coupled with the volume of this ever-growing repository necessitates advanced techniques to sequentially process the datasets to determine the underlying trends. Such techniques essentially model the observations to learn characteristic parameters of data-generating processes and highlight anomalous planetary surface observations to help domain scientists for making informed decisions. The primary challenge in defining such models arises due to the spatio-temporal variability of these processes. This dissertation introduces models of multispectral satellite observations that sequentially learn the expected trend from the data by extracting salient features of planetary surface observations. The main objectives are to learn the temporal variability for modeling dynamic processes and to build representations of features of interest that is learned over the lifespan of an instrument. The estimated model parameters are then exploited in detecting anomalies due to changes in land surface reflectance as well as novelties in planetary surface landforms. A model switching approach is proposed that allows the selection of the best matched representation given the observations that is designed to account for rate of time-variability in land surface. The estimated parameters are exploited to design a change detector, analyze the separability of change events, and form an expert-guided representation of planetary landforms for prioritizing the retrieval of scientifically relevant observations with both onboard and post-downlink applications. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Computer Engineering 2019

Nonstationary signals are widely observed in many real-world applications, e.g., radar, sonar, radio astronomy, communication, acoustics, and vibration applications. Joint time-frequency (TF) domain representations provide a time-varying spectrum for their analyses, discrimination, and classifications. Nonstationary signals commonly exhibit sparse occupancy in the TF domain. In this dissertation, we incorporate such sparsity to enable robust TF analysis in impaired observing environments. In practice, missing data samples frequently occur during signal reception due to various reasons, e.g., propagation fading, measurement obstruction, removal of impulsive noise or narrowband interference, and intentional undersampling. Missing data samples in the time domain lend themselves to be missing entries in the instantaneous autocorrelation function (IAF) and induce artifacts in the TF representation (TFR). Compared to random missing samples, a more realistic and more challenging problem is the existence of burst missing data samples. Unlike the effects of random missing samples, which cause the artifacts to be uniformly spread over the entire TF domain, the artifacts due to burst missing samples are highly localized around the true instantaneous frequencies, rendering extremely challenging TF analyses for which many existing methods become ineffective. In this dissertation, our objective is to develop novel signal processing techniques that offer effective TF analysis capability in the presence of burst missing samples. We propose two mutually related methods that recover missing entries in the IAF and reconstruct high-fidelity TFRs, which approach full-data results with negligible performance loss. In the first method, an IAF slice corresponding to the time or lag is converted to a Hankel matrix, and its missing entries are recovered via atomic norm minimization. The second method generalizes this approach to reduce the effects of TF crossterms. It considers an IAF patch, which is reformulated as a low-rank block Hankel matrix, and the annihilating filter-based approach is used to interpolate the IAF and recover the missing entries. Both methods are insensitive to signal magnitude differences. Furthermore, we develop a novel machine learning-based approach that offers crossterm-free TFRs with effective autoterm preservation. The superiority and usefulness of the proposed methods are demonstrated using simulated and real-world signals. / Electrical and Computer Engineering

Non-stationary signals, particularly frequency modulated (FM) signals which arecharacterized by their time-varying instantaneous frequencies (IFs), are fundamental to radar, sonar, radio astronomy, biomedical applications, image processing, speech processing, and wireless communications. Time-frequency (TF) analyses of such signals provide two-dimensional mapping of time-domain signals, and thus are regarded as the most preferred technique for detection, parameter estimation, analysis and utilization of such signals. In practice, these signals are often received with compressed measurements as a result of either missing samples, irregular samplings, or intentional under-sampling of the signals. These compressed measurements induce undesired noise-like artifacts in the TF representations (TFRs) of such signals. Compared to random missing data, burst missing samples present a more realistic, yet a more challenging, scenario for signal detection and parameter estimation through robust TFRs. In this dissertation, we investigated the effects of burst missing samples on different joint-variable domain representations in detail. Conventional TFRs are not designed to deal with such compressed observations. On the other hand, sparsity of such non-stationary signals in the TF domain facilitates utilization of sparse reconstruction-based methods. The limitations of conventional TF approaches and the sparsity of non-stationary signals in TF domain motivated us to develop effective TF analysis techniques that enable improved IF estimation of such signals with high resolution, mitigate undesired effects of cross terms and artifacts and achieve highly concentrated robust TFRs, which is the goal of this dissertation. In this dissertation, we developed several TF analysis techniques that achieved the aforementioned objectives. The developed methods are mainly classified into two three broad categories: iterative missing data recovery, adaptive local filtering based TF approach, and signal stationarization-based approaches. In the first category, we recovered the missing data in the instantaneous auto-correlation function (IAF) domain in conjunction with signal-adaptive TF kernels that are adopted to mitigate undesired cross-terms and preserve desired auto-terms. In these approaches, we took advantage of the fact that such non-stationary signals become stationary in the IAF domain at each time instant. In the second category, we developed a novel adaptive local filtering-based TF approach that involves local peak detection and filtering of TFRs within a window of a specified length at each time instant. The threshold for each local TF segment is adapted based on the local maximum values of the signal within that segment. This approach offers low-complexity, and is particularly useful for multi-component signals with distinct amplitude levels. Finally, we developed knowledge-based TFRs based on signal stationarization and demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed TF techniques in high-resolution Doppler analysis of multipath over-the-horizon radar (OTHR) signals. This is an effective technique that enables improved target parameter estimation in OTHR operations. However, due to high proximity of these Doppler signatures in TF domain, their separation poses a challenging problem. By utilizing signal self-stationarization and ensuring IF continuity, the developed approaches show excellent performance to handle multiple signal components with variations in their amplitude levels. / Electrical and Computer Engineering

Time-Frequency decomposition is a signal processing method for analyzing and extracting information from aperiodic signals. Analysis of these signals are ineffective when done using the Fourier transform, instead these signals must be analyzed in the time and frequency domain simultaneously. The current tools for Time-Frequency analysis are either proprietary or computationally expensive making it prohibitive for researchers to use. This thesis investigates the computational aspects of signal processing with a focus on Time-Frequency analysis using wavelets. We develop algorithms that compute and plot the Time-Frequency decomposition automatically, and implement them in C++ as a framework. As a result our framework is significantly faster than MATLAB, and can be easily incorporated into applications that require Time-Frequency analysis. The framework is applied to identify the Event Related Spectral Perturbation of EEG signals; and to vibrational analysis by identifying the mechanical modal parameters of oscillating machines. / Thesis / Master of Applied Science (MASc)

Recently, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has become commonplace in many applications. It is based on storing and remotely retrieving the data embedded on the tags. The tag structure can be chipped or chipless. In chipped tags, an integrated IC attached to the antenna is biased by an onboard battery or interrogating signal. Compared to barcodes, the chipped tags are expensive because of the existence of the chip. That was why chipless RFID tags are demanded as a cheap candidate for chipped RFID tags and barcodes. As its name expresses, the geometry of the tag acts as both modulator and scatterer. As a modulator, it incorporates data into the received electric field launched from the reader antenna and reflects it back to the receiving antenna. The scattered signal from the tag is captured by the antenna and transferred to the reader for the detection process. By employing the singularity expansion method (SEM) and the characteristic mode theory (CMT), a systematic design process is introduced by which the resonant and radiation characteristics of the tag are monitored in the pole diagram versus structural parameters. The antenna is another component of the system. Taking advantage of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, it is possible to study the time and frequency domain characteristics of the antenna used in chipless RFID system. A new omni-directional antenna element useful in wideband and UWB systems is presented. Then, a new time-frequency technique, called short-time matrix pencil method (STMPM), is introduced as an efficient approach for analyzing various scattering mechanisms in chipless RFID tags. By studying the performance of STMPM in early-time and late-time responses of the scatterers, the detection process is improved in cases of multiple tags located close to each other. A space-time-frequency algorithm is introduced based on STMPM to detect, identify, and localize multiple multi-bit chipless RFID tags in the reader area. The proposed technique has applications in electromagnetic and acoustic-based detection of targets. / Ph. D.
