🧠 Electronic Artificial Intelligence–Digital Twin Model for Optimizing Electroencephalogram Signal Detection

Author: Alessandro Massaro from LUM Libera Università Mediterranea, Italy.

This study presents an electronic proof-of-concept Digital Twin (DT) model designed to support Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal detection and interpretation. The proposed model combines circuit modelling and simulation of EEG electrodes with an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-supervised algorithm to classify and adjust noisy EEG signals.
The study specifically investigates the use of Random Forest (RF) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithms for processing EEG signals affected by Flicker and white noise. Using a dataset of EEG signals associated with alcohol exposure, the researchers demonstrate how the RF-based approach can reduce noise ripple behaviour and facilitate the interpretation of time-domain peaks and waveform morphology.
One of the key contributions of the work is the integration of the circuit simulation and AI processing within a Digital Twin framework. The proposed DT can incorporate configurable physical and physiological parameters, support real-time checking of detected EEG signals, and potentially be adapted to different EEG-related pathologies by constructing specific training datasets.
The results indicate that the Random Forest approach is a promising alternative to conventional EEG filtering methods. For the investigated dataset, RF achieved a slightly lower probabilistic error than ANN and demonstrated a better cleaning action, while providing performance comparable to or slightly better than traditional approaches such as bandpass filtering, FIR filtering, and wavelet-based methods.
The study highlights the potential of combining Artificial Intelligence, Digital Twins, and biomedical electronics to improve the acquisition and interpretation of physiological signals, with possible future applications in wearable devices and other biomedical signal-processing systems.

Authors: Rafał Kociszewski and Wojciech Wojtkowski from Bialystok University of Technology
This paper presents a remote vibration monitoring system for combustion engines that combines vibration sensing, edge computing, and wireless communication to support real-time condition monitoring and early fault detection.
The proposed system uses an MPU-6050 accelerometer together with AVR and ESP32 microcontrollers to acquire and process vibration signals close to the data source. By calculating statistical parameters directly at the edge—including RMS, variance, standard deviation, and impulse factor—the system can reduce data transmission requirements while maintaining useful diagnostic information.
Experimental tests demonstrated that changes in selected vibration measures can be associated with deteriorating engine conditions, highlighting their potential as early indicators of mechanical faults. The system also enables processed data to be transmitted to a central server via mobile communication and supports OTA firmware updates, providing a flexible platform for future diagnostic developments.
The study highlights the potential of for scalable and distributed vibration diagnostics, particularly in mobile and resource-constrained environments where low latency, reduced bandwidth requirements, and reliable operation are essential.

This study presents a comparative evaluation of transformer-based language models for topic-based sentiment analysis in the Greek educational context. The research compares four models—GreekBERT, XLM-R-Greek, mBERT, and Palobert—using three original sentiment-annotated datasets covering perspectives from parents, teachers, and school directors.
The findings demonstrate the strong potential of language-specific transformer models for capturing sentiment in domain-specific Greek-language data. GreekBERT achieved the best overall performance, reaching an F1 score of 0.91, with particularly strong performance in identifying negative sentiment (F1 = 0.95).
The study also highlights differences in classification difficulty across educational topics, providing valuable insights into the application of NLP and transformer architectures for analyzing complex educational and social data.
