Accelerometer-based fetal movement detection
Mesbah, M.; Khlif, M.S.; East, C.; Smeathers, J; Colditz, P.; Boashash, B.... more authors ... less authors ( IEEE , 2011 , Conference Paper)Monitoring fetal wellbeing is a compelling problem in modern obstetrics. Clinicians have become increasingly aware of the link between fetal activity (movement), well-being, and later developmental outcome. We have recently ... -
Accurate and efficient implementation of the time–frequency matched filter
O'Toole, J.M.; Mesbah, M; Boashash, B ( Institution of Engineering and Technology , 2010 , Article)The discrete time-frequency matched filter should replicate the continuoustime-frequency matched filter, but the methods differ. To avoid aliasing, thediscrete method transforms the real-valued signal to the complex-valued ... -

Omidvarnia, A; Mesbah, M; O'Toole, J.M.; Colditz, P; Boashash, B ( IEEE , 2011 , Conference Paper)Relationships between cortical neural recordings as a representation of functional connectivity between cortical brain regions were quantified using different time-frequency criteria. Among these, Partial Directed Coherence ... -
Automatic seizure detection based on the combination of newborn multi-channel EEG and HRV information Advances in Nonstationary Electrophysiological Signal Analysis and Processing
Mesbah M.; Balakrishnan M.; Colditz P.B.; Boashash B. (2012 , Article)This article proposes a new method for newborn seizure detection that uses information extracted from both multi-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) and a single channel electrocardiogram (ECG). The aim of the study is to ... -
Detecting Fetal Movements Using Non-Invasive Accelerometers: A Preliminary Analysis
Girier, T.; O'Toole, J.; Mesbah, M.; Boashash, B.; Clough, I.; Wilson, S.; Fuentes, M.; Callan, S.; East, C.; Colditz, P.... more authors ... less authors ( IEEE , 2010 , Article)Monitoring fetal movement is important to assess fetal health. Standard clinical fetal monitoring technologies include ultrasound imaging and cardiotocography. Both have limited prognostic value and require significant ... -
Detection of neonatal seizure using multiple filters
Khlif, M.S.; Mesbah, M.; Boashash, Boualem; Colditz, P. ( IEEE , 2010 , Conference Paper)It is often impossible to accurately differentiate between seizure and non-seizure related activities in irifants based on clinical manifestations alone. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is therefore the best tool available ... -
EEG amplitude and correlation spatial decay analysis for neonatal head modelling
Odabaee M.; Layeghy S.; Mesbah M.; Azemi G.; Boashash B.; Colditz P.; Vanhatalo S.... more authors ... less authors (2012 , Conference Paper)There is an increased need to better understand the relation between brain structures and functions in newborns by using EEG source localization techniques. This requires a realistic head model that would take into account ... -
Generalized Mean Phase Coherence for asynchrony abnormality detection in multichannel newborn EEG
Omidvarnia A.; Vanhatalo S.; Mesbah M.; Azemi G.; Colditz P.; Boashash B.... more authors ... less authors (2012 , Conference Paper)Inter-hemispheric asynchrony within the multichannel recordings of newborn EEG is associated with abnormal functionality of the newborn brain. Mean Phase Coherence (MPC) as a bivariate phase synchrony measure is widely ... -
Improved Discrete Definition of Quadratic Time-Frequency Distributions
O'Toole, J.M.; Mesbah, M.; Boashash, B. ( IEEE , 2010 , Article)Computation of a time-frequency distribution (TFD) requires a discrete version of the continuous distribution. This discrete TFD (DTFD) should be free from aliasing and conserve all the important mathematical properties ... -
Instantaneous frequency based newborn EEG seizure characterisation
Mesbah M.; O'Toole J.M.; Colditz P.B.; Boashash B. (2012 , Article)The electroencephalogram (EEG), used to noninvasively monitor brain activity, remains the most reliable tool in the diagnosis of neonatal seizures. Due to their nonstationary and multi-component nature, newborn EEG seizures ... -
Kalman filter-based time-varying cortical connectivity analysis of newborn EEG
Omidvarnia, A.H.; Mesbah, M.; Khlif, M.S.; O'Toole, J.M.; Colditz, P.; Boashash, B.... more authors ... less authors ( IEEE , 2011 , Conference Paper)Multivariate Granger causality in the timefrequency domain as a representation of time-varying cortical connectivity in the brain has been investigated for the adult case. This is, however, not the case in newborns as ... -
Multiple-view time-frequency distribution based on the empirical mode decomposition
Stevenson, N.J; Mesbah, M; Boashash, B ( Institution of Engineering and Technology , 2010 , Article)This study proposes a novel, composite time-frequency distribution (TFD) constructed using a multiple-view approach. This composite TFD utilises the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) ... -
A Nonlinear Model of Newborn EEG with Nonstationary Inputs
Stevenson, N.J; Mesbah, M; Boylan, G.B; Colditz, P.B; Boashash, B ( Springer US , 2010 , Article)Newborn EEG is a complex multiple channel signal that displays nonstationary and nonlinear characteristics. Recent studies have focussed on characterizing the manifestation of seizure on the EEG for the purpose of automated ... -
