Prior to feeding the features to classifiers, statistical analyses, including t-tests, were deployed to obtain relevant and significant features at each approach. The proposed feature extraction technique and classification proved effective and suitable for smart Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices as performance parameters of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity are higher than recently related works with a value of 99.7%, 99.5%, and 99.7% respectively.Item Brain Tumor Detection and Classification on MR Images by a Deep Wavelet Auto‐Encoder Model(MDPI, 2021-08-31) Isselmou, Abd El Kader; Guizhi, Xu; Zhang, Shuai; Saminu, Sani; Javaid, Imran; Ahmad, Isah Salim; KAMHI, SOUHAThe process of diagnosing brain tumors is very complicated for many reasons, including the brain’s synaptic structure, size, and shape. Machine learning techniques are employed to help doctors to detect brain tumor and support their decisions. In recent years, deep learning techniques have made a great achievement in medical image analysis. This paper proposed a deep wavelet autoencoder model named “DWAE model”, employed to divide input data slice as a tumor (abnor‐ mal) or no tumor (normal). This article used a high pass filter to show the heterogeneity of the MRI images and their integration with the input images. A high median filter was utilized to merge slices. We improved the output slices’ quality through highlight edges and smoothened input MR brain images. Then, we applied the seed growing method based on 4‐connected since the thresholding cluster equal pixels with input MR data. The segmented MR image slices provide two two‐layer using the proposed deep wavelet auto‐encoder model. We then used 200 hidden units in the first layer and 400 hidden units in the second layer. The softmax layer testing and training are performed for the identification of the MR image normal and abnormal. The contribution of the deep wavelet auto‐encoder model is in the analysis of pixel pattern of MR brain image and the ability to detect and classify the tumor with high accuracy, short time, and low loss validation. To train and test the overall performance of the proposed model, we utilized 2500 MR brain images from BRATS2012, BRATS2013, BRATS2014, BRATS2015, 2015 challenge, and ISLES, which consists of normal and ab‐ normal images. The experiments results show that the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 99.3%, loss validation of 0.1, low FPR and FNR values. This result demonstrates that the proposed DWAE model can facilitate the automatic detection of brain tumors.Item Brain Tumor identification by Convolution Neural Network with Fuzzy C-mean Model Using MR Brain Images(North Atlantic University Union, 2020-12-29) Isselmou, Abd El Kader; Guizhi, Xu; Zhang, Shuai; Saminu, Sani; Javaid, Imran; Ahmad, Isah SalimMedical image computing techniques are essential in helping the doctors to support their decision in the diagnosis of the patients.

Improving algorithms and machine learning technology helps radiologists to easily diagnose the tumor without surgical intervention. In recent years, deep learning techniques have made excellent progress in the field of medical image processing and analysis. However, there are many difficulties in classifying brain tumors using magnetic resonance imaging; first, the difficulty of brain structure and the intertwining of tissues in it; and secondly, the difficulty of classifying brain tumors due to the high density nature of the brain. We propose a differential deep convolutional neural network model (differential deep-CNN) to classify different types of brain tumor, including abnormal and normal magnetic resonance (MR) images. Using differential operators in the differential deep-CNN architecture, we derived the additional differential feature maps in the original CNN feature maps. The derivation process led to an improvement in the performance of the proposed approach in accordance with the results of the evaluation parameters used. The advantage of the differential deep-CNN model is an analysis of a pixel directional pattern of images using contrast calculations and its high ability to classify a large database of images with high accuracy and without technical problems. Therefore, the proposed approach gives an excellent overall performance. To test and train the performance of this model, we used a dataset consisting of 25,000 brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, which includes abnormal and normal images. The experimental results showed that the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 99.25%. This study demonstrates that the proposed differential deep-CNN model can be used to facilitate the automatic classification of brain tumors.Item Electroencephalogram (EEG) Based Imagined Speech Decoding and Recognition(institution of Applied Materials and Technology Society with the cooperation of Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Riau, Pekanbaru, Indonesia, 2021-05-25) Saminu, Sani; Guizhi, Xu; Zhang, Shuai; Isselmou, Abd El Kader; Jabire, Adamu Halilu; Karaye, Ibrahim Abdullahi; Ahmad, Isah Salim; Abdulkarim, Abubakarĉe recent investigations and advances in imagined speech decoding and recognition has tremendously improved the decoding of speech directly from brain activity with the help of several neuroimaging techniques that assist us in exploring the neurological processes of imagined speech. ĉis development leads to assist people with disabilities to beneėt from neuroprosthetic devices that improve the life of those suffering from neurological disorders. ĉis paper presents the summary of recent progress in decoding imagined speech using Electroenceplography (EEG) signal, as this neuroimaging method enable us to monitor brain activity with high temporal resolution, it is very portable, low cost, and safer as compared to other methods. ĉerefore, it is a good candidate in investigating an imagined speech decoding from the human cortex which remains a challenging task. ĉe paper also reviews some recent techniques, challenges, future recommendations and possible solutions to improve prosthetic devices and the development of brain computer interface system (BCI).Item EPILEPTIC EEG SIGNALS RHYTHMS ANALYSIS IN THE DETECTION OF FOCAL AND NON-FOCAL SEIZURES BASED ON OPTIMISED MACHINE LEARNING AND DEEP NEURAL NETWORK ARCHITECTURE(World Scientific, 2023-06) Saminu, Sani; Xu, Guizhi; Zhang, Shuai; Abd El Kader, Isselmou; Jabire, Adamu Halilu; Ahmed, Yusuf Kola; Karaye, Ibrahim Abdullahi; Ahmad, Isah SalimObjective: Most studies in epileptic seizure detection and classi¯cation focused on classifying di®erent types of epileptic seizures.

A recently released temple university hospital corpus dataset consisting of long-time seizure recordings of various seizures was employed to evaluate our proposed model. The proposed optimized SVM classifier with the hybrid features performed better than other experimented models with the value of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1-score of 96.9%, 96.8%, 93.4%, 95.6%, and 96.2%, respectively. The developed model was also compared with some recent works in literature that employed the same dataset and found that our model outperformed all the compared studies.Item PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF TRANSMIT DIVERSITY CONFIGURATIONS BASED ON OSTBC ALAMOUTI’S EXTENSION(Department of Electrical Engineering, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, 2021-03) Saminu, Sani; Jabire, Adamu Halilu; Abdulkarim, Abubakar; Ahmed, Yusuf Kola; Iliyasu, Adamu Yau; Salisu, Sani; Karaye, Ibrahim Abdullahi; Ahmad, Isah SalimOne of the diversity configurations is transmit diversity.
