The single-channel EEG data was captured in both ICU and operating room and different anesthetic drugs, including propofol and isoflurane were used. For better analysis, application of adaptive segmentation on EEG signal for estimating BIS index is evalu- ated and compared to fixed segmentation. Prediction probability (PK) is used as a measure of correlation between the predictors and BIS index to evaluate the proposed methods. The results show the ability of these algorithms (specifically HFD algorithm) in predicting BIS index. Also, evolving fixed and adaptive win- dowing methods for segmentation of EEG reveals no meaningful difference in estimating BIS index.

Introduction In the operating room, the anesthesiologist is essential in frequency (PPF), median power frequency (MPF), and providing optimal working conditions to surgeons, and
