Pilot Study on Analysis of Electroencephalography Signals from Children with FASD with the Implementation of Naive Bayesian Classifiers

Sensors (Basel). 2021 Dec 24;22(1):103. doi: 10.3390/s22010103.

Abstract

In this paper Naive Bayesian classifiers were applied for the purpose of differentiation between the EEG signals recorded from children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorders (FASD) and healthy ones. This work also provides a brief introduction to the FASD itself, explaining the social, economic and genetic reasons for the FASD occurrence. The obtained results were good and promising and indicate that EEG recordings can be a helpful tool for potential diagnostics of FASDs children affected with it, in particular those with invisible physical signs of these spectrum disorders.

Keywords: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD); Naive Bayesian classifiers; digital signal processing; electroencephalography (EEG).
