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.
