Electroencephalogram (EEG) Signals, Brain Activity, Identified Information, Unidentified InformationAbstract
Conventional lie detectors have often been questioned for their accuracy and reliability, which can lead to wrongful accusations. These Inaccurate results may compromise legal decisions, threaten national security, or hinder the justice system. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a technique used to record electrical activity in the brain, which has become a major focus for researchers, especially in the development of lie detection systems. Therefore, the research aims to explore complex patterns in brain activity that play an important role in distinguishing identified and unidentified information by using brain activity mapping as a novel approach. The required data are taken from channels T3, T4, T5, T6, O1, and O2 related to human memory. A total of 30 participants are involved in the study, where their brain activity is analyzed in the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma subbands. Brain activity visualization parameters are based on energy wavelet feature extraction values. The visualization results for each participant in the three subbands are then classified using the Na¨ıve Bayes algorithm with a Gaussian distribution approach. The results of the machine learning method achieve 72% accuracy, with test scenarios using 80% training data and 20% testing data. The research introduces brain heat mapping as an innovative visualization technique to interpret EEG-based deception detection better, offering a more intuitive and explainable approach compared to traditional feature-based methods. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of brain function and provide a foundation for improving the effectiveness and reliability of EEG-based lie detection in investigative contexts.
