Abstract

In this study, Wavelet Transform (WT) is used to analyze EEG data as an input to a feed forward neural network for signal classification of individuals at high risk (HR) for alcoholism. We used two types of mother wavelets for the matheematical processing of EEG data: (a) Biorthogonal (Bior) and (b|) Daubechies (Db). The results show that the wavelet transform can be used to provide a better classification by artificial neural network (ANN). Both ANN, trained with wavelet coefficients of Bior and Db, provided good performances (70%) in the classification task.
