چکیده

در این مقاله، کاربرد تحلیل مؤلفه‌های مستقل (ICA) برای تشخیص بیماری اوتیسم مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. ابتدا منابع تولید کننده سیگنال‌های EEGبا ICAاستخراج و سپس پردازش‌های حوزه زمان و فرکانس بر این مؤلفه‌های سیگنالی اعمال شدند. سیگنال‌های EEGاز 10 کودک مبتلا به اوتیسم و 10 کودک سالم در محدوده سنی 6-11 سال گرفته شده است. نتایج به کمک روش آماری آزمون تی با هم مقایسه شده‌اند. پائین‌تر بودن سطح همبستگی میان منابع نیم‌کره چپ مغز به ویژه ناحیه مربوط به کانال 3Cدر افراد مبتلا به اوتیسم نسبت به افراد سالم مشاهده شده است. همچنین میانگین انرژی باند فرکانسی تتا در منابع نیم‌کره چپ مغز به‌خصوص کانال‌های 3Cو 3Fبرای افراد مبتلا به اوتیسم نسبت به افراد سالم پائین‌تر بوده و این معیار در باند فرکانسی گاما بالاتر به دست آمده است.

چکیده [English]

This paper presents ICA analysis application for detection of autism disorder. In the first step, resources of EEG signals were extracted by ICA and then time domain and frequency domain processing were implemented. EEG signals of ten children with autism and ten healthy children aged 6 to 11 years have been obtained. The results have been compared statistically by T-test. Lower correlation levels between resources of the left hemisphere of the brain especially C3 channel region in autistic children compared with healthy subjects have been observed. Also the average energy of theta frequency band in C3 and F3 channels for children with autism were lower than that in healthy people and this criterion was higher in gamma frequency band.
