  • I. Matlab Toolbox

    • Download the file ‘NA-MEMD.zip’ for the latest version. It includes three matlab functions, ‘read_me.txt’, ‘namemd.m’ and ‘add_noise.m’. The main function is ‘namemd.m’, which calls ‘add_noise.m’ to specify the noise channels. For more details, please refer to ‘read_me.txt’.

  • II.Example

    x = randn(1000,3);
    ndir = 64;
    stp_crit = 'stop';
    stp_vec = [0.075 0.75 0.075];
    mode = 'na_fix';
    intensity_noise = 1;
    n_channel_na = 3;
    imfs = namemd(x, ndir, stp_crit, stp_vec, mode, intensity_noise, n_channel_na);

Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD)-based approaches have been popularized in biosignal processings such as Electroencephalograph (EEG), Electromyography (EMG), and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) was widely used for single-channel-based signal processing as it can effectively extract the temporal information of time series. However, it cannot well address the temporal and spatial characteristics in relation to multichannel signals. Accordingly, the multivariate extension of EMD (MEMD) has been developed to deal with multichannel biosignals, specifically for the applications of EEG-based brain-computer interface as well as researches on fMRI.

Our previous studies concerned about the use of Noise-assisted multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition (NA-MEMD) for the preprocessing of multichannel biosignals such as EMG. A comparative study is provided by assessing EEMD, MEMD, and NA-MEMD. The outcomes from these approaches are then quantitatively estimated on the basis of three criterions, the number of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), mode-alignment and mode-mixing. Results showed Both MEMD and NA-MEMD methods (except EEMD) can guarantee equal numbers of IMFs. For mode-alignment and mode-mixing, NA-MEMD is optimal compared with MEMD and EEMD, and MEMD is merely better than EEMD.

The Matlab code for NA-MEMD has been provided for free downloads.
