The Master of Big Data and Cloud Computing, in partnership with CNRST, is collaborating with AIX-Marseille University to offer a course entitled « EEG Data Analysis » on Advanced Artificial Intelligence. The course will take place from the 8th to the 20th of May, 2023, at the Faculty of Science, Ibn Tofail University. Note that it will be open to all computer science students at the university. This course will be taught by Professor Mohamed Quafafou, a professor of computer science at Aix-Marseille University.
This course introduces brain data analysis, underlying its main challenges and usefulness in real-world applications. We start with an introduction to machine learning and data processing, considering data’s spatial, temporal, and spectral dimensions. We discuss data acquisition using low-cost mobile EEG and its impact on the quality of the collected data. Next, we will study the different methods of pre-processing (load, filter, window, etc.). In particular, we introduce methods to compute features that characterize the acquired signals and transform and clean the data. Then, we explain how to build the datasets used during the training, refinement, and testing of models. We consider both classical machine learning algorithms and deep learning architectures. Finally, we illustrate our remarks with real-world applications, such as a mobile phone application that predicts the emotional state of a given person.
