Abstract
Changes in electroencephalogram (EEG) carry important clinical information. Accurate detection and characterization of such changes in EEG can be a valuable tool for clinical assessment of the neurological system condition. Autoregressive mode have previously been used to detect changes in the EEG signal. Based on the AR model parameters, an off-line distance measure called Itakura distance has been used to effectively quantify changes in the EEG signal related to brain injury. The ordinary Itakura distance measure used for such quantification requires the same order for the AR models in all EEG segment. In this paper, a generalized Itakura distance measure is proposed without the constraint of same order for all EEG segments. The generalized Itakura distance measure is applied to the analysis of EEG signals. Preliminary results suggest that the generalized Itakura distance measure performs better for detecting injury-related changes in EEG.
