    A novel approach to processing electroencephalography (EEG) signals has emerged, leveraging the utilization of signal images. The application of deep learning techniques in bypassing complex signal and image processing tasks has generated significant interest in this field. However, challenges remain in signal image processing, particularly in handling significant features and image sizes. This study presents a comprehensive investigation of EEG motor imagery signal processing, focusing on the classification of three tasks: eating, drinking, and seeking assistance. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is employed to extract signal image features, which are subsequently utilized in a deep learning framework. EEG data were collected from five subjects, and four transfer functions of deep learning models, namely VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, and ResNet101, were employed for training and classification purposes. The performance of the four models was meticulously evaluated and compared. Notably, VGG16 exhibited superior performance in accurately classifying the EEG motor imagery tasks, achieving an impressive accuracy of 90%, sensitivity of 84%, and specificity of 92%. In conclusion, this study underscores the efficacy of EEG signal image processing through deep learning-based classification techniques. The findings highlight the potential of utilizing signal images in EEG analysis for motor imagery tasks, thereby contributing to the advancement of brain-computer interface technology and enhancing our understanding of neural dynamics.

    Undergraduate students experience several changes and face various problems during their time transitioning from adolescence to adulthood. One of the issues during this time is a mental stress disorder. Stress burdens the students either through mental or physical capabilities. The common method of determining stress includes physical examination and clinical diagnosis. However, the method is subjective and time-consuming as doctors need to make sure that their diagnosis is accurate. Thus, the severity of the stress stages could not be easily determined. A new method using machine learning-based algorithms coupled with EEG devices promises to overcome the issues with the current approaches. This paper presents an investigation using machine learning techniques based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) which allows for the reduction in the dimensionality of datasets to enhance their interpretability while minimizing information loss. The pre-processed EEG data and PCA-based EEG data were compared and analyzed using three machine learning classifiers such as K-Nearest Network (KNN), Naive Bayes (NB) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). The results indicate that KNN demonstrated the highest average classification accuracy of 99%, while the other approaches mentioned above averaged around 50% and 80% for NB and MLP respectively. This investigation shows that the KNN classifier is most suitable for the proposed approach.
