We know a little about the mystery of the brain not only because it is a complex organ that does several tasks simultaneously in the real world, but also because we can only obtain limited signals for similar tasks, and the effects of individual activities are weak and confounded. Brain imaging techniques like event-related potentials (ERPs) elicited by repeated and controlled stimuli have been developed to understand how people acquire, perceive, process, and store information.

ERPs are always mixed with other signals, such as spontaneous EEG, electromyography, electrocardiograph, and noise, in different dimensions. The common methods hardly succeed in separating the responses to events. Therefore, efficient advanced processing techniques play a crucial role in extracting ERPs.

This dissertation aims to develop novel methods and frameworks to study how the human brain responds to external events. We investigate the brain responses in different dimensions and uses these multi-dimensional features to tell stories about different brain processes, for example, the response to neutral and emotional faces.

In the research, the developed methods are performed on the multi-subjects’ or individual’s real-world and synthetic EEG data to find meaningful brain activities.

The introduced approaches can detect and analyse brain activities to events and provide new insights into cognitive psychology and clinical applications.
