Abstract

The main challenge of transmitting or storing Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is the size of EEG data recordings. In this paper, an efficient and fast EEG compression system based on bi-orthogonal wavelet transform (Tap9/7) is proposed. It consists of three primary steps: (1) Tap (9/7) wavelet transform, which decomposes the EEG signal into low and multi-high subbands; (2) Progressive hierarchical quantizer, which quantizes wavelet subbands; and (3) double-shift coding, which encodes the input stream with three code-words while using the fewest total bits possible. When evaluating the efficiency of the EEG compression system, the compression ratio (CR) and mean square error (MSE) were the metrics that were utilised. The complexity of the compression system was reduced when using the Tap (9/7) wavelet transform, which also produced superior results in terms of CR and MSE compared to those obtained using the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DCT). The experimental tests are carried out with the CHB-MIT dataset, and the best compression ratio (CR = 7) is accomplished with an error level that is close to zero (MSE = 0.044).
