The second group ascended and descended stairs of a five-level building block at a self-selected speed. All participants completed the experiment with seven inertial measurement units wrapped around the lower body segments and waist. The data were analyzed to determine the fractal dimension, spectral entropy, and the Lyapunov exponent (LyE). Two methods were used to calculate the long-term LyE, first LyE calculated using the full size of data sets. And the embedding dimensions were calculated using Average Mutual Information (AMI) and the False Nearest Neighbor (FNN) algorithm was used to find the time delay. Besides, a second approach was developed to find long-term LyE where the time delay was based on the average period of the gait cycle using adaptive event-based window. The average values of spectral entropy are 0.538 and 0.575 for stairs ambulation and running, respectively. The degree of uncertainty and complexity increases with the ambulation speed. The short term LyEs for tibia orientation have the minimum range of variation when it comes to stairs ascent and descent. Using two-way analysis of variance we demonstrated the effect of the ambulation speed and type of ambulation on spectral entropy.

Recorded EEG signals, due to their large size, may not initially perform well in classification. For this reason, various feature selection methods are used to improve the performance of classification. The nature of EEG signals is complex and unstable. This article uses the <i>Empirical Mode Decomposition</i> (<i>EMD</i>) method, which is one of the most successful methods in analyzing these signals in recent years. In the proposed model, first, the EEG signals are decomposed using EMD into the number of Intrinsic Mode Functions (<i>IMF</i>), and then, the statistical properties of the IMFs are extracted. To improve the performance of the proposed model, using the RBF kernel and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) feature selection, an effective subset of the features that have changed the space is selected. The data are then clustered, and finally, each cluster is classified with a decision tree and random forest and KNN. The purpose of clustering is to increase the accuracy of the classification, which is achieved by focusing each cluster on a limited number of classes. This experiment was performed on the DEAP dataset. The results show that the proposed model with 99.17% accuracy could perform better than recent research such as deep learning and show good performance. In the latest years, with the development of the BCI system, the demand for recognizing emotions based on EEG has increased.
