Consumption of alcohol contributes to disorders in brain. In this study, in order to detect the consumption of alcohol, electroencephalogram (EEG) signal of 20 participants (10 alcoholic and 10 control subjects) recorded by 64 channels was investigated. Frequency and non-frequency features of EEG signal including power spectrum of signal, permutation entropy, approximate entropy, Katz fractal dimension and Petrosion fractal dimension were extracted to analyses the EEG signal. Statistical analysis was used to investigate the significant differences between the alcohol and control groups. The Davis-Bouldin (DB) criterion was used to select the best channel distinguishing between the alcoholic and non-alcoholic EEG signal. Results showed that between frequency features, power of lower2 alpha frequency decreased in alcoholic individuals and regarding the DB criterion, the CP3 channel (DB=1.7638) showed the best discrimination between the alcohol and control groups. Also, among the non-frequency features, the Katz fractal dimension increased in the control group and FP2 channel (DB = 0.862) had the best discrimination. Eventually, power of Lower2-alpha frequency band and Katz fractal dimension fed into the nearest neighbor classifier (KNN), 71% and 93% accuracy were achieved, respectively. According to the results, it can be concluded that the best feature and channel discriminating between alcohol and control groups is the Katz fractal dimension and FP2 channel.

Abstract
Self-paced BCI systems are more natural for real-life applications since these systems allow the user to control the system when desired. Detection of event periods in continuous EEG signal is one of the most important challenges in designing self-paced BCIs. In this paper, the Event related synchronization ...

Self-paced BCI systems are more natural for real-life applications since these systems allow the user to control the system when desired. Detection of event periods in continuous EEG signal is one of the most important challenges in designing self-paced BCIs. In this paper, the Event related synchronization (ERS) is extracted from idle EEG signal using fractal dimensions in frequency range from 6 to 36 Hz and sparse representation based classifier. Our proposed method applied on EEG signal recorded during executing foot movement in 7 subjects. The average true positive rate and false positive rate equal to 90% and 5% were achieved.
