Electroencephalography (EEG) has emerged as a primary non-invasive and mobile modality for understanding the complex workings of the human brain, providing invaluable insights into cognitive processes, neurological disorders, and brain-computer interfaces. Nevertheless, the volume of EEG data, the presence of artifacts, the selection of optimal channels, and the need for feature extraction from EEG data present considerable challenges in achieving meaningful and distinguishing outcomes for machine learning algorithms utilized to process EEG data. Consequently, the demand for sophisticated optimization techniques has become imperative to overcome these hurdles effectively. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) and other nature-inspired metaheuristics have been applied as powerful design and optimization tools in recent years, showcasing their significance in addressing various design and optimization problems relevant to brain EEG-based applications. This paper presents a comprehensive survey highlighting the importance of EAs and other metaheuristics in EEG-based applications. The survey is organized according to the main areas where EAs have been applied, namely artifact mitigation, channel selection, feature extraction, feature selection, and signal classification. Finally, the current challenges and future aspects of EAs in the context of EEG-based applications are discussed.

This paper introduces a novel technique to evaluate comfort properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) coated woven fabrics. The proposed technique combines artificial neural network (ANN) and golden eagle optimizer (GEO) to ameliorate the training process of ANN. Neural networks are state-of-the-art machine learning models used for optimal state prediction of complex problems. Recent studies showed that the use of metaheuristic algorithms improve the prediction accuracy of ANN. GEO is the most advanced methaheurstic algorithm inspired by golden eagles and their intelligence for hunting by tuning their speed according to spiral trajectory. From application point of view, this study is a very first attempt where GEO is applied along with ANN to improve the training process of ANN for any textiles and composites application. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm ANN with GEO (ANN-GEO) was applied to map out the complex input-output conditions for optimal results. Coated amount of ZnO NPs, fabric mass and fabric thickness were selected as input variables and comfort properties were evaluated as output results. The obtained results reveal that ANN-GEO model provides high performance accuracy than standard ANN model, ANN models trained with latest metaheuristic algorithms including particle swarm optimizer and crow search optimizer, and conventional multiple linear regression.

This paper presents a new hybrid approach for the prediction of functional properties i.e., self-cleaning efficiency, antimicrobial efficiency and ultraviolet protection factor (UPF), of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) coated cotton fabric. The proposed approach is based on feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) model called a multilayer perceptron (MLP), trained by an optimized algorithm known as crow search algorithm (CSA). ANN is an effective and widely used approach for the prediction of extremely complex problems. Various studies have been proposed to improve the weight training of ANN using metaheuristic algorithms. CSA is a latest and an effective metaheuristic method relies on the intelligent behavior of crows. CSA has been never proposed to improve the weight training of ANN. Therefore, CSA is adopted to optimize the initial weights and thresholds of the ANN model, in order to improve the training accuracy and prediction performance of functional properties of TiO2 NPs coated cotton composites. Furthermore, our proposed algorithm i.e., multilayer perceptron with crow search algorithm (MLP-CSA) was applied to map out the complex input-output conditions to predict the optimal results. The amount of chemicals and reaction time were selected as input variables and the amount of titanium dioxide coated on cotton, self-cleaning efficiency, antimicrobial efficiency and UPF were evaluated as output results. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to assess the performance of CSA in prediction process. MLP-CSA provided excellent result that were statistically significant and highly accurate as compared to standard MLP model and other metaheuristic algorithms used in the training of ANN reported in the literature.

The paper presents an application of a clustering technique inspired by ant colony metaheuristics. The paper addresses the problem of long-term (Holter) electrocardiogram data processing. Long-term recording produces a huge amount of biomedical data, which must be preprocessed prior to its presentation to the specialist. The paper also discusses relevant aspects improving the robustness, stability and convergence criteria of the method. The method is compared with well known clustering techniques (both classical and nature-inspired), first testing on the known dataset and finally applying them to the real ECG data records from the MIT-BIH database and outperforms the standard methods. Electrocardiogram data clustering can effectively reduce the amount of data presented to the cardiologist: cardiac arrhythmia and significant morphology changes in the ECG can be visually emphasized in a reasonable time. The final evaluation of the ECG recording must still be made by an expert.

BACKGROUND: To compare the clinical performance of a new PCa serum biomarker based on fPSA glycoprofiling to fPSA% and PHI. METHODS: Serum samples from men who underwent prostate biopsy due to increased PSA were used. A comparison between two equal groups (with histologically confirmed PCa or benign, non-cancer condition) was used for the clinical validation of a new glycan-based PCa oncomarker. SPSS and R software packages were used for the multiparametric analyses of the receiver operating curve (ROC) and for genetic algorithm metaheuristics. RESULTS: When comparing the non-cancer and PCa cohorts, the combination of four fPSA glycoforms with two clinical parameters (PGI, prostate glycan index (PGI)) showed an area under receiver operating curve (AUC) value of 0.821 (95% CI 0.754-0.890). AUC values were 0.517 for PSA, 0.683 for fPSA%, and 0.737 for PHI. A glycan analysis was also applied to discriminate low-grade tumors (GS = 6) from significant tumors (GS ≥ 7). CONCLUSIONS: Compared to PSA on its own, or fPSA% and the PHI, PGI showed improved discrimination between presence and absence of PCa and in predicting clinically significant PCa. In addition, the use of PGI would help practitioners avoid 63.5% of unnecessary biopsies, while the use of fPSA% and PHI would help avoid 17.5% and 33.3% of biopsies, respectively, while missing four significant tumors (9.5%).
