Abstract

Alcoholism involves psychological and biological components where multiple risk factors come into play. Assessment of the psychiatric emergency is a challenging issue for clinicians working with alcohol-dependent patients. Identifying alcoholics from healthy controls from their EEG signals can be effective in this scenario. In this research, we have applied two instance-based classifiers and three neural network classifier to classify Electroencephalogram data of alcoholics and normal person. For data preprocessing, we have applied discrete wavelet transform, Principal component analysis and Independent component analysis. After successful implementation of the classifiers, an accuracy of 95% is received with Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory. Finally, comparing the performance of the two categories of algorithms, we have found that neural networks have higher potentiality against instance-based classifiers in the classification of EEG signals of alcoholics.
