Abstract
In this paper, EEG data processing was conducted in order to define the parameters for neurofeedback. A new survey was conducted based on a brief review of previous research. Two groups of participants were chosen: ADHD (3) and nonADHD (14). The main part of this study includes EEG signal data pre-processing and processing. We have outlined statistical features of observed EEG signals such as mean value, grand-mean value and their ratios. It can be concluded that an increase in grand-mean values of power theta-low beta ratio on Cz electrode gives confirmation of previous research. The value of alpha-delta power ratio higher than 1 on C3, Cz, P3, Pz, P4 in ADHD group is proposed as a new approach to classification. Based on these conclusions we will design a neurofeedback protocol as a continuation of this work.
