B) ROC curves and corresponding areas under the curve, indicating the extent to which each frequency band contributed to the classifier. Top row, for spectral amplitude. Bottom row, for amplitude envelope correlations. The area under the curve can be interpreted as the accuracy with which the ...
Brain tumor: Cancer in the brain can cause pressure on areas of the brain that affect consciousness, potentially causing a coma. In some instances, tumor removal can be curative. Lack of oxygen (hypoxia): Aheart attackor severe lung disease may prevent sufficient oxygen from reaching the brain...
