The brain dominance is referred to right brain and left brain. The brain dominance can be observed with an Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal to identify different types of electrical pattern in the brain and will form the foundation of one‟s personality. The objective of this project is to analyze brain dominance by using Wavelet analysis. The Wavelet analysis is done in 2-D Gabor Wavelet and the result of 2-D Gabor Wavelet is validated with an establish brain dominance questionnaire. Twenty-one samples from University Malaysia Pahang (UMP) student are required to answer the establish brain dominance questionnaire has been collected in this experiment. Then, brainwave signal will record using Emotiv device. The threshold value is used to remove the artifact and noise from data collected to acquire a smoother signal. Next, the Band-pass filter is applied to the signal to extract the sub-band frequency components from Delta, Theta, Alpha, and Beta. After that, it will extract the energy of the signal from image feature extraction process. Next the features were classified by using K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) in two ratios which 70:30 and 80:20 that are training set and testing set (training: testing). The ratio of 70:30 gave the highest percentage of 83% accuracy while a ratio of 80:20 gave 100% accuracy. The result shows that 2-D Gabor Wavelet was able to classify brain dominance with accuracy 83% to 100%.
Classification of emotions induced by horror and relaxing movies using single-...IJECEIAES
It has been observed from recent studies that corticolimbic Theta rhythm from EEG recordings perceived as fear or threatening scene during neural processing of visual stimuli. In additions, neural oscillations’ patterns in Theta, Alpha and Beta sub-bands also play important role in brain’s emotional processing. Inspired from these findings, in this paper we attempt to classify two different emotional states by analyzing single-channel EEG recordings. A video clip that can evoke 3 different emotional states: neutral, relaxation and scary is shown to 19 college-aged subjects and they were asked to score their emotional outcome by giving a number between 0 to 10 (where 0 means not scary at all and 10 means the most scary). First, recorded EEG data were preprocessed by stationary wavelet transform (SWT) based artifact removal algorithm. Then power distribution in simultaneous time-frequency domain was analyzed using short-time Fourier transform (STFT) followed by calculating the average power during each 0.2s time-segment for each brain sub-band. Finally, 46 features, as the mean power of frequency bands between 4 and 50 Hz during each time-segment, containing 689 instances—for each subject —were collected for classification. We found that relaxation and fear emotions evoked during watching scary and relaxing movies can be classified with average classification rate of 94.208% using K-NN by applying methods and materials proposed in this paper. We also classified the dataset using SVM and we found out that K-NN classifier (when k = 1) outperforms SVM in classifying EEG dynamics induced by horror and relaxing movies, however, for K > 1 in K-NN, SVM has better average classification rate.

SUITABLE MOTHER WAVELET SELECTION FOR EEG SIGNALS ANALYSIS: FREQUENCY BANDS D...sipij
Wavelet transform (WT) is a powerful modern tool for time-frequency analysis of non-stationary signals such as electroencephalogram (EEG). The aim of this study is to choose the best and suitable mother wavelet function (MWT) for analyzing normal, seizure-free and seizured EEG signals. Several MWTs can be used, but the best MWT is the one that conserves the quasi-totality of information of the original signal on wavelet coefficients and gather more EEG rhythms in terms of frequency. In this study, Daubechies, Symlets and Coiflets orthogonal families were used as bsis mother wavelet functions. The percentage rootmeans square difference (PRD), the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the simulated frequencies as the selection metrics. Simulation results indicate Daubechies wavelet at level 4 (Db4) as the most suitable MWT for EEG frequency bands decomposition.Furthermore, due to the redundancy of the extracted features, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is applied for feature selection. Scatter plot showed that the selected feature vector represents the amount of changes in frequency distribution and carries most of the discriminative and representative information about their classes. Then, this study can provide a reference for the selection of a suitable MWT and discriminativefeatures.

The recognition of emotions is a vast significance and a high developing field of research in the recent years. The applications of emotion recognition have left an exceptional mark in various fields including education and research. Traditional approaches used facial expressions or voice intonation to detect emotions, however, facial gestures and spoken language can lead to biased and ambiguous results. This is why, researchers have started to use electroencephalogram (EEG) technique which is well defined method for emotion recognition. Some approaches used standard and pre-defined methods of the signal processing area and some worked with either fewer channels or fewer subjects to record EEG signals for their research. This paper proposed an emotion detection method based on time-frequency domain statistical features. Box-and-whisker plot is used to select the optimal features, which are later feed to SVM classifier for training and testing the DEAP dataset, where 32 participants with different gender and age groups are considered. The experimental results show that the proposed method exhibits 92.36% accuracy for our tested dataset. In addition, the proposed method outperforms than the state-of-art methods by exhibiting higher accuracy.

5. detection and separation of eeg artifacts using wavelet transform nov 11, ...IAESIJEECS
Bio-medical signal processing is one of the most important techniques of multichannel sensor network and it has a substantial concentration in medical application. However, the real-time and recorded signals in multisensory instruments contains different and huge amount of noise, and great work has been completed in developing most favorable structures for estimating the signal source from the noisy signal in multichannel observations. Methods have been developed to obtain the optimal linear estimation of the output signal through the Wide-Sense-Stationary (WSS) process with the help of time-invariant filters. In this process, the input signal and the noise signal are assumed to achieve the linear output signal. During the process, the non-stationary signals arise in the bio-medical signal processing in addition to it there is no effective structure to deal with them. Wavelets transform has been proved to be the efficient tool for handling the non-stationary signals, but wavelet provide any possible way to approach multichannel signal processing. Based on the basic structure of linear estimation of non-stationary multichannel data and statistical models of spatial signal coherence acquire through the wavelet transform in multichannel estimation. The above methods can be used for Electroencephalography (EEG) signal denoising through the original signal and then implement the noise reduction technique to evaluate their performance such as SNR, MSE and computation time.

As rich spatiotemporal dynamics are exhibited in the human brain, it is quite complicated in nature. Sudden electrical disturbance of the brain occurs in a temporary manner and it causes epileptic seizures. Seizures may be sometimes confused with other events and sometimes it may even go unnoticed. Prediction of occurrence of an epileptic seizure is quite difficult and it is very difficult to understand the course of action. To analyze this widespread disorder of the brain, Electroencephalography (EEG) is used. It is indeed one of the best techniques to probe the activity of the brain and it is highly useful to diagnose the neurological disease. Tons of information is obtained by the EEG monitoring system and analyzing it visually is quite difficult. Therefore, the dimensionality of the EEG data is reduced with the help of dimensionality reduction techniques like Mutual Information (MI) and Matrix Factorization (MF). The values reduced through dimensionality reduction are then classified with the help of Linear Layer Networks for the classification of epilepsy from EEG Signals. Results show that when MI is used to reduce the dimensionality and classified with Linear Layer Networks an average classification accuracy of 96.60% is obtained. When MF is employed with Linear Layer Networks an average classification accuracy of 97.47% is obtained.

Training artificial neural network using particle swarm optimization algorithmA. Roy
Abstract -
In this paper, the adaptation of network weights using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) was proposed as a mechanism to improve the performance of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in classification of IRIS dataset. Classification is a machine learning technique used to predict group membership for data instances. To simplify the problem of classification neural networks are being introduced. This paper focuses on IRIS plant classification using Neural Network. The problem concerns the identification of IRIS plant species on the basis of plant attribute measurements. Classification of IRIS data set would be discovering patterns from examining petal and sepal size of the IRIS plant and how the prediction was made from analyzing the pattern to form the class of IRIS plant. By using this pattern and classification, in future upcoming years the unknown data can be predicted more precisely. Artificial neural networks have been successfully applied to problems in pattern classification, function approximations, optimization, and associative memories. In this work, Multilayer feed- forward networks are trained using back propagation learning algorithm.

The primary goal of this research work is to detect and remove non responsive channels and trials in evoked potentials by tracing out the signals with very low energy. This is done by calculating the energy of the average evoked potential of each channel, and the energy of the average evoked potential of each trial. Then channel wise and trial wise median test is conducted to detect and remove non-responsive channels and trials. An attempt has been made to apply these techniques to 14-channel visual evoked potentials (VEPs) obtained from four different subjects.

Analysis of EEG data Using ICA and Algorithm Development for Energy Comparisonijsrd.com
This Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal analysis very useful in clinical research and brain computer interface application. EEG signal (brain wave) recordings are highly susceptible from artifacts which are originated from the non-cerebral origin of the brain. EEG detection and rejection of artifacts are necessary for acquiring correct information from EEG signal. Emotiv, Epoc headset can record 16 channels from the scalp of the electrode. EEGLAB allows analysis of EEG signal through Event related potential (ERP) analysis, Independent component analysis (ICA), and time/frequency analysis. Independent component analysis (ICA) may be suitable method for detecting artifacts. We analyzed EEG data which are recorded using emotiv epoc in a different situation for a single person. EEG data are preprocessed by EEGLAB and decomposes the data by the ICA. Using statistical method, analyzed the all the dataset and finding the relationship among the dataset. T- Test shows that EEG pattern is unique in a person. EEG data is divided into different frequency band to find the relationship between the dataset. Also develop the algorithm for calculating energy of dataset for each channel. Comparing the energy for each dataset and each channel to find the maximum and minimum value of energy. In higher frequency range (13-100 Hz) dataset D (meditation) contains maximum value of energy for most channels among all datasets.
METHODS OF COMMAND RECOGNITION USING SINGLE-CHANNEL EEGSijistjournal
This work proposes to recognize a user's commands by analysing his/her brainwaves captured with single channel electroencephalogram (EEG). Whenever a user intends to issue one of the pre-defined commands, the proposed system prompts him/her all the candidate commands in turn. Then, the user is asked to be concentrated as possible as he/she can, when the desired command is shown.

Transfer learning for epilepsy detection using spectrogram imagesIAESIJAI
Epilepsy stands out as one of the common neurological diseases. The neural activity of the brain is observed using electroencephalography (EEG). Manual inspection of EEG brain signals is a slow and arduous process, which puts heavy load on neurologists and affects their performance. The aim of this study is to find the best result of classification using the transfer learning model that automatically identify the epileptic and the normal activity, to classify EEG signals by using images of spectrogram which represents the percentage of energy for each coefficient of the continuous wavelet. Dataset includes the EEG signals recorded at monitoring unit of epilepsy used in this study to presents an application of transfer learning by comparing three models Alexnet, visual geometry group (VGG19) and residual neural network ResNet using different combinations with seven different classifiers. This study tested the models and reached a different value of accuracy and other metrics used to judge their performances, and as a result the best combination has been achieved with ResNet combined with support vector machine (SVM) classifier that classified EEG signals with a high success rate using multiple performance metrics such as 97.22% accuracy and 2.78% the value of the error rate.
Performance Comparison of Known ICA Algorithms to a Wavelet-ICA MergerCSCJournals
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is useful for biological research and clinical diagnosis. These signals are however contaminated with artifacts which must be removed to have pure EEG signals. These artifacts can be removed by using Independent Component Analysis (ICA). In this paper we studied the performance of three ICA algorithms (FastICA, JADE, and Radical) as well as our newly developed ICA technique which utilizes wavelet transform. Comparing these ICA algorithms, it is observed that our new technique performs as well as these algorithms at denoising EEG signals.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Neural network optimizer of proportional-integral-differential controller par...IJECEIAES
Wide application of proportional-integral-differential (PID)-regulator in industry requires constant improvement of methods of its parameters adjustment. The paper deals with the issues of optimization of PID-regulator parameters with the use of neural network technology methods. A methodology for choosing the architecture (structure) of neural network optimizer is proposed, which consists in determining the number of layers, the number of neurons in each layer, as well as the form and type of activation function. Algorithms of neural network training based on the application of the method of minimizing the mismatch between the regulated value and the target value are developed. The method of back propagation of gradients is proposed to select the optimal training rate of neurons of the neural network. The neural network optimizer, which is a superstructure of the linear PID controller, allows increasing the regulation accuracy from 0.23 to 0.09, thus reducing the power consumption from 65% to 53%. The results of the conducted experiments allow us to conclude that the created neural superstructure may well become a prototype of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)-type industrial controller for tuning the parameters of the PID controller.
An improved modulation technique suitable for a three level flying capacitor ...IJECEIAES
This research paper introduces an innovative modulation technique for controlling a 3-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter (FCMLI), aiming to streamline the modulation process in contrast to conventional methods. The proposed
simplified modulation technique paves the way for more straightforward and
efficient control of multilevel inverters, enabling their widespread adoption and
integration into modern power electronic systems. Through the amalgamation of
sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) with a high-frequency square wave
pulse, this controlling technique attains energy equilibrium across the coupling
capacitor. The modulation scheme incorporates a simplified switching pattern
and a decreased count of voltage references, thereby simplifying the control
algorithm.
A review on features and methods of potential fishing zoneIJECEIAES
This review focuses on the importance of identifying potential fishing zones in seawater for sustainable fishing practices. It explores features like sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height (SSH), along with classification methods such as classifiers. The features like SST, SSH, and different classifiers used to classify the data, have been figured out in this review study. This study underscores the importance of examining potential fishing zones using advanced analytical techniques. It thoroughly explores the methodologies employed by researchers, covering both past and current approaches. The examination centers on data characteristics and the application of classification algorithms for classification of potential fishing zones. Furthermore, the prediction of potential fishing zones relies significantly on the effectiveness of classification algorithms. Previous research has assessed the performance of models like support vector machines, naïve Bayes, and artificial neural networks (ANN). In the previous result, the results of support vector machine (SVM) were 97.6% more accurate than naive Bayes's 94.2% to classify test data for fisheries classification. By considering the recent works in this area, several recommendations for future works are presented to further improve the performance of the potential fishing zone models, which is important to the fisheries community.
Electrical signal interference minimization using appropriate core material f...IJECEIAES
As demand for smaller, quicker, and more powerful devices rises, Moore's law is strictly followed. The industry has worked hard to make little devices that boost productivity. The goal is to optimize device density. Scientists are reducing connection delays to improve circuit performance. This helped them understand three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) concepts, which stack active devices and create vertical connections to diminish latency and lower interconnects. Electrical involvement is a big worry with 3D integrates circuits. Researchers have developed and tested through silicon via (TSV) and substrates to decrease electrical wave involvement. This study illustrates a novel noise coupling reduction method using several electrical involvement models. A 22% drop in electrical involvement from wave-carrying to victim TSVs introduces this new paradigm and improves system performance even at higher THz frequencies.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Bibliometric analysis highlighting the role of women in addressing climate ch...IJECEIAES
Fossil fuel consumption increased quickly, contributing to climate change
that is evident in unusual flooding and draughts, and global warming. Over
the past ten years, women's involvement in society has grown dramatically,
and they succeeded in playing a noticeable role in reducing climate change.
A bibliometric analysis of data from the last ten years has been carried out to
examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's
findings discussed the relevant to the sustainable development goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13. The results considered contributions made
by women in the various sectors while taking geographic dispersion into
account. The bibliometric analysis delves into topics including women's
leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate
change, point out areas of research deficiency and recommendations on how
to increase role of the women in addressing the climate change and
achieving sustainability. To achieve more successful results, this initiative
aims to highlight the significance of gender equality and encourage
inclusivity in climate change decision-making processes.
Voltage and frequency control of microgrid in presence of micro-turbine inter...IJECEIAES
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Precisely characterizing Li-ion batteries is essential for optimizing their
performance, enhancing safety, and prolonging their lifespan across various
applications, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. This
article introduces an innovative nonlinear methodology for system
identification of a Li-ion battery, employing a nonlinear autoregressive with
exogenous inputs (NARX) model. The proposed approach integrates the
benefits of nonlinear modeling with the adaptability of the NARX structure,
facilitating a more comprehensive representation of the intricate
electrochemical processes within the battery. Experimental data collected
from a Li-ion battery operating under diverse scenarios are employed to
validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The identified
NARX model exhibits superior accuracy in predicting the battery's behavior
compared to traditional linear models. This study underscores the
importance of accounting for nonlinearities in battery modeling, providing
insights into the intricate relationships between state-of-charge, voltage, and
current under dynamic conditions.
Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's
evolution is essential to propose guidelines for facing new and future smart
grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of
Science (WoS), and the Scopus databases. We obtained 5,663 documents
from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future
research.
Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.
Enhancing of single-stage grid-connected photovoltaic system using fuzzy logi...IJECEIAES
The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

Efficiently identifying and resolving code smells enhances software project quality. This paper presents a novel solution, utilizing automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques, to detect code smells and apply move method refactoring. By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy. Future research can expand to explore additional refactoring techniques and a broader range of code metrics, advancing software engineering practices and standards.

Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.
An efficient security framework for intrusion detection and prevention in int...IJECEIAES
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

This research is developing an incubator system that integrates the internet of things and artificial intelligence to improve care for premature babies. The system workflow starts with sensors that collect data from the incubator. Then, the data is sent in real-time to the internet of things (IoT) broker eclipse mosquito using the message queue telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol version 5.0. After that, the data is stored in a database for analysis using the long short-term memory network (LSTM) method and displayed in a web application using an application programming interface (API) service. Furthermore, the experimental results produce as many as 2,880 rows of data stored in the database. The correlation coefficient between the target attribute and other attributes ranges from 0.23 to 0.48. Next, several experiments were conducted to evaluate the model-predicted value on the test data. The best results are obtained using a two-layer LSTM configuration model, each with 60 neurons and a lookback setting 6. This model produces an R 2 value of 0.934, with a root mean square error (RMSE) value of 0.015 and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.008. In addition, the R 2 value was also evaluated for each attribute used as input, with a result of values between 0.590 and 0.845.

Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

K-NN Classification of Brain Dominance (Khairul Amrizal Abu Nawas)
2495
In classical, brain dominance can be determined by establish questionnaire. Brainwaves have several
rhythm frequencies that can be measured by device called as EEG. When to analyze the signal, there are a lot
of technique back then such Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Power Spectral Density (PSD) and others.
However, those methods still not enough for an EEG signals as the features extraction. This is because FFT
and PSD determine the pattern of brainwave by highest peak value of the signal and transportation signals are
non-stationary. Moreover, times and frequency information cannot be seen at the same time. It is difference
with Wavelet analysis where it took the whole signal to extract the energy value of the signal. Therefore,
Wavelet analysis is preferred. This is also Wavelet can perform multi resolution time-frequency analysis.
Research has indicated that most people are dominant in one brain hemisphere. Determining for
dominant brain hemisphere can play a role in determining how the people learn best and how his relate to
others. But, any inventory is just a guide. People are most successful when they integrate and develop both
sides of the brain. From the Herrmann brain dominance questionnaire that it can establish which side the
brain for some person [4]. It is also useful to consider the face validity of the concept of brain dominance
measurement to experts in scientific fields associated with the brain. Here it is safe to say that the very idea
of left brain-right brain dominance remains somewhat controversial.
However, those have some another technique to determine brain dominance that is through by
brainwave [5]. In other term, brainwave may call as neural oscillation. It is rhythmic or repetitive neural
activity in the central nervous system which also known as brain. This kind of oscillation can be observed in
the EEG. The EEG is the recording of electrical activity along the scalp. Thus, dominance brainwave is one
of the brains activities that flows within the neurons of the brain that can be classify by EEG [6]. From the
Emotive EPOC device, that can use for collecting the data from brainwave. It will be pre-processed and
extracted frequency band in some of range classification whether in Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta.
Emotiv EPOC with 14 electrodes include with two references are most commonly as shown in
Figure 1(a) and Figure 1(b) to detect EEG signal. Normally, the EEG is determined through AF3 and AF4 as
shown in Figure 2. Apparently, these two channels also known as Fp 1 and Fp 2 that been proposed in most
of projects and researches. EEG can be analyzed in time domain, frequency domain and even time-frequency
domain. However, most of projects and researches carried previously, they were analyzing in either time
domain or frequency domain. It is seldom happened to be time-frequency domain due to its limited technique
that found currently.
(a) (b)
Figure 1. (a) Emotiv EPOC device [7], (b) Emotiv EPOC channel [7]
EEG signal that get from Emotiv Epoc device is in non-stationary signal. For non-stationary signal,
there are need information in both the frequency and time domains at once [8]. Fourier Transform (FT) is
normally uses for transformation signal technique. But, the times and frequency information cannot be seen
at the same time. That only gives the frequency exist in the signal. Therefore, Fourier analysis isolates well in
frequency, but not in time.
The avelet analysis that support the finite signal because avelets are localized waves although
some avelets do not have compact support compare with T . n this case the performance of oubechies
db decomposition is exact due to a great similarity between the analyzed signal and the Wavelet itself as
shown in Figure 2 [9]. The declaration is importance to choose of Wavelet for the decomposition of the
signal and denoising technique. Generally, choosing longer Wavelets leads to a better frequency resolution
but a worse time resolution [9].
2-D wavelet analysis is the method to detect the edge of information signal based on the feature of
image texture [10]. Frequency and orientation representations of Gabor filter are like those of the human

visual system, and they have been found to be particularly appropriate for texture representation and
discrimination. Gabor function provides the spectral energy density concentrated around a given position and
frequency in a certain direction. Moreover, the popular Gabor parameters, 5 scales X 8 orientations is the best
choice in many studies and that will apply to this Gabor function [11]. Therefore, Gabor Wavelet is
preferable as it can extract most of the features from a signal such as amplitude and energy [11].
K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) is the method that use for classifying the brain dominance and to
determine which frequency band of the EEG Power Spectrum whether that is Delta, Theta, Alpha, and Beta.
The classifier works by a comparing a new sample (testing data) with the baseline data (training data) [12].
The classifier will determine with k neighbourhood in the training data and assign class which appear more
frequently in the neighbourhood of k [13], [14].
Figure 2. Wavelet decomposition tree used for the real EEG data set and used to reconstruct the
brain waves [9]
K-NN was widely used by several researches and projects for the classification purpose. This is due
to K-NN is very easy to understand and simple method that would return a good accuracy. or example
training point of sample that will be used to classified sample point where mean to be
positive or negative. Let assume that sample point, X= [2 6] and put into classifier with training point,
Y = [1, 5]. Then, the classifier will classify the value of X such as 2 to the nearest value of Y and put them
into the group. Therefore, where value of X is equal to 2, it is nearest to value of Y equal to 1. So, value of X
equal to 2 will classify into that group.
2. RESEARCH METHOD
The experiment stage is divided into data collection, pre-processing, 2-D Wavelet and K-NN
classification. The research method will be discussed in the next section.
2.1. Data collection
Participants were volunteering undergraduate students from Universiti Malaysia Pahang. Total
participants were 21 among 6 males and 15 females. The EEG signals was downloading offline from Emotiv
Test Bench after the participant answer brain dominance questionnaire and they were given rest 2 to 5 minute
before EEG data acquisition. The brainwave signal is recorded using 16 channels including two references in
EEG channel.
The period protocol of the experiment is shown in Figure 3. The total time required for each
participant is approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Initially, participant rested for 2 minutes while EEG
experimental procedures were carried out. Consequently, EEG signal were recorded continuously for
5 minutes during eyes closed.
Brainwave signal will record by using Emotiv device and it has 16 channels, but in this analysis
required only two out of 16 channels. That is Fp 1 and Fp 2 channel which channels contains the most
features that help in determination of brain dominance because that are in near of left and right frontal brain.
The recorded brainwave signal will be saved in edf format.

2.2. Pre-processing
Pre-processing was carried out to remove the unnecessary signal or called as artifact from EEG
signal. In pre-processing, there are two phases that is threshold and band pass filter. The signals were further
processed using a specific algorithm of filtration to reject artifact and to allow only the information signal
from the brainwave to pass through the correlation analysis.
Noise from a signal is resulting when the participant does an any minor movement, eye blinking,
when his breath and sweating. The analysis would need only signal. Therefore other than signal
they are assumed as a noise and artifact towards the signal. To remove all the unnecessary artefacts or noise
from a signal that will be use a threshold to outbound from a certain range of value. As the EEG was
measured
in 16 channels.
The range of EEG value is within - μV to μV in amplitude. Thus the signal in channel p 1
and Fp 2 was threshold within the range so that the signal contains correct EEG signal.
In this project, it required four sub-band frequencies for analysis. They are Delta, Theta, Alpha and
Beta. Each of the brain represents different state of consciousness where the band wave will change
according to the activity they are doing. In the MATLAB software, the Butterworth low pass and band pass
filter to identify the signal whether of frequency sub-band. The signal was segmented into independent
four sub-bands according to their own frequency range as stated below with the same technique where the
range of frequency for the filter was changed according the Table 1. t is applied to all channels as well in
Fp 1 and Fp 2.
Table 1. Brainwave Sub-band Pattern Description [15]
Brainwave Frequency (Hz) mplitude μV Description
Beta >13 lowest Awake
Alpha 8 - 13 low Relaxed
Theta 4 – 8 high Tired
Delta 0.5 - 4 highest Deep Sleep
2.3. 2-D wavelet
The time-domain analysis in biomedical signals such as EEG does not seen the time-frequency at
the same time [16]. Spectral or frequency-domain analysis would be very helpful in this case. However,
spectral analysis does not show us at what times the frequency changes occur. The Wavelet technique will
solve the problem of resolution by using Multi-resolution analysis. The Wavelet is tools that take the data,
function or operator into different frequency components, and then studies each component, and then studies
each component with a resolution matched to its scale.
This project uses 2-D Gabor Wavelet to extract the expression feature from sub-regions of
expression images. According to analyze and compare the expression features extracted from different
images texture with different frequency band and different sample, that have obtained satisfactory
experimental results that demonstrates the efficiency of our algorithm. Gabor transfer function (tfrgabor) is
used to get coefficient contains an information relative to the time-frequency content of the signal around the
time-frequency location. Generally, some degree of oversampling is considered ( x < 1), which
introduces redundancy in the coefficients to „smooth‟ the biorthonormal window h, for the sake of numerical
stability. 2-D Gabor Wavelet that extract the image in R, G, B colour. In this project, our feature extraction
has similar size of image texture that is 560 X 420 pixels. That will remove the scale, axes, and title of image
by using auto crop declaration in MATLAB. The removing was doing because that only analyze and
segmented the information extraction. Before to get mean amplitude and mean energy from the image, that
image will change into gray-scale because the Gabor function used to extract the feature from the Gabor
image and that only extract from the gray-scale image. This extraction is segmented the sub-regions from an
expression image and that having greatly containing expression.

2-D Gabor Wavelet will give the value of mean amplitude and squared energy after the image
turned into gray-scale. From the value, that will obtain the frequency band which is the brain dominance of
the person. That will detect the edge of information into the image. Phase symmetry (phasesym) function
will use to compute and calculate Gabor features from the gray-scale image to get the value of mean squared
energy and mean amplitude in automatically by using MATLAB. However, apart from the Gabor image
processing has parameters to be set that is scale and orientation.
Moreover, the popular Gabor parameters is 5 scales x 8 orientations, have been assume to be the
best choice in many studies without careful discussion and examination on their performance X. The
normalization is used to change the energy value into several ranges that is „ ‟ to „ ‟. Histogram chart in
Microsoft Excel was used to obtain and analyse the patterns of brain dominance with frequency band (Delta,
Theta, Alpha, and Beta) after normalized the energy value X.
2.4. K-NN classification
After feature extraction from 2-D Gabor Wavelet, the features were classified by using K-Nearest
Neighbor (K-NN). The accuracy from classification will shows the brain dominance for each sample. It
shows the accuracy of the analysis been through. So, K-NN was used to classify them. In K-NN, there are
three thing= 9dsd999 need to understand in advanced. There are testing set, training set and group set.
Testing set is the data to classify with approach of training set. Training set are the data that used to compare
with the sample set to classify the testing set in certain that been set in group set whether left dominance and
right dominance of brain. Group set can only be defined in number instead of character. For example, right
brain dominance set number as „ ‟ left brain dominance set number as „ ‟ and testing will set as number „ ‟.
That can ease to obtain the accuracy of data from 2-D Gabor Wavelet.means that 30 percent out of 20
samples become testing set and 70 percent of 20 samples become training set. It same goes for 80:20, that is
20 percent of 20 samples become testing set and 80 percent of 20 samples become training set. Hence, the
data was classified based on these two ratios and it returned a percentage of accuracy of classification.
Lastly, the testing set was classified with k from 1 to 15 set value of training set. For example, 70:30
means that my sample set is 6 out of 20 samples while training set is 14 out of 20 samples. Therefore, that
will be classified the sample set from k = 1 to k = 15 for purpose to obtain which k returns me highest
percentage of accuracy.
3. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
The EEG signals collected to obtain four frequency band (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta) from two
channels. There were 21 sample from UMP student and all EEG signal has been recorded using Emotive
after each of student answering the questionnaire. There are two channels to use for completing the
observation and analysed, that is Fp 1 and Fp 2. The MATLAB software has been used to process the data.
Table 2 shows the brain dominance questionnaire results. The observation for left and right brain
dominance using this questionnaire also similar with case study before where when the person strong in
mathematics and science there are more to left-brain dominance in engineering student.

Two-Dimensional Wavelet is the other technique where to determine sub-band frequency of brain
dominance and show the result for Fp 1 and Fp 2 channel in Gabor Wavelet. The 2D Gabor functions
proposed are local spatial band pass filters that achieve the theoretical limit for conjoint resolution of
information in the 2D spatial and 2D Fourier domains. The Figure 4 to Figure 7 show the feature and
information of the image for each sub-band frequency where the channel of Fp 1.
After that, the features are extracted through the images. But, the images need to modify in advance
before extraction. This because that the function applied only able to extract the features from a gray-scale
form. And even the images must be excluding the axes and others after the axes. Therefore, crop image
process was done for that purpose and then the images were turn into gray-scale.

Based on Figure 8 and Figure 9, the average data after normalization energy can be utilized the left-
brain and right-brain dominance by refers the both channel and the highest histogram for each sub-band
frequency. The Fp 1 channel as the left-brain dominance is indicate Beta-band whereas Fp 2 channel as the
right-brain dominance is indicate Theta-band. For bilateral cases, it cannot indicate the sub-band frequency
because there is only one sample.
There is possibility of 2-D Wavelet results is more precise because that it analyse energy of signal in
scale „s‟ orientation „θ „ and physical location (x, y). To prove this analysis, that will refer the brain
dominance criteria. The brain dominance has mention where right-brain people are more creative and
intuitive. The meditation analysis, Delta-band signal are associated with the deepest levels of relaxation and
restorative, healing sleep. That is not similar for right-brain dominance criteria. The Theta-band frequency
range is involved in daydreaming and make „highly suggestible‟ because they are in a deeply relaxed semi-
hypnotic state. That is helping to improve our intuition, creativity and makes person more natural. These
criteria also suitable and related with right-brain dominance.

K-NN is the technique that can use to analyse the result from 2-D Wavelet and to prove this analysis
based on the highest accuracy percentage. K-NN was done in two of ratios and the value of k. There are
70:30 and 80:20 for ratios while the maximum k for both ratios is 15. Figure 10 and Figure 11 show the result
into two classifications of ratio.
From the classification, the result obtained based on data correction which means that in certain
value of k, it gave certain number of correct classification for the testing set. For example, in Figure 10, when
k = 4, the result shows that 5 out of 6 testing set were correct in the classification.
Figure 10. Show accuracy percentage for ratio 70:30.
The k is varied from 1 to 15. From the figure, the
highest accuracy is obtained from k = 4, with
accuracy 83%
Figure 11. Show accuracy percentage for ratio 80:20.
The k is varied from 1 to 15. From the figure, the
highest accuracy is obtained from k=2,
with accuracy 100%
The result from Figure 11 show the highest percentage accuracy when k = 2 it gave 100% of
accuracy. That is the best of data analysis. The means of this result also shows that if the amount of data set is
higher, then the accuracy of data may go higher than this result. This is because when the ratio is changed
80:20, it results 100% where increase around 17% compared to ratio of 70:30. As a conclusion, the accuracy
will be increase when the amount of training set goes higher.
4. CONCLUSION
The project able to classify brain dominance based on EEG signal referred to brain dominance
questionnaire. The 2-D Gabor Wavelet could analyze brain dominance with accuracy 83% to 100% that
obtained from K-NN classification.
For the recommendation and future development, this suggestion can upgrade to make this analysis
is more interactive and valuable. The EEG data can be improved when recording the brainwave signal into
the online system. From the brainwave signal that can show there brain dominance result into smart phone by
using GSM system. The parent or lecturer can download the application and try to implement for children
who are cannot read or write to change their study technique based on brain dominance classification.
The Wavelet technique used in this project in order to analyze the EEG signal gave a successful
result when that can classify the brain dominance of a person. That it because the Wavelet can analyze the
brain signal based on scale and orientation. However, hidden information of brain dominance in terms of
brainwave can be explored in future research. At the last, the result can be improved when to use Neurosky
Mindset device because the device is more accurate to capture the brain signal compared with Emotiv device.
