Purpose: To provide a conceptual understanding of the continuous and discrete wavelet transforms (CWT, DWT) for clinical electroretinography (ERG) analysis, and how these methods uncover time-frequency features that complement traditional time-domain analysis.
Methods: A technical overview without the use of mathematical formula describing the basics of CWT and DWT and implementation considerations. We also review an example of four standard ISCEV ERG recordings from a healthy male (between 30-34 years of age) and a male (between 15-19 years of age) with complete congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB).
Results: Wavelet analysis uncovered time-frequency signatures absent in raw traces. In light-adapted flicker, the normal ERG showed a ~30 Hz response with harmonics up to 90 Hz, whereas CSNB was largely attenuated. For LA 3 and dark-adapted flashes, normal CWTs concentrated energy < 100 Hz between 0.04-0.08 s, while CSNB demonstrated lowered or almost absent energy profiles in comparison. DWT indices exhibited a similar pattern, with normal recordings demonstrating high energy responses early in the 7, 15, and 29 Hz frequency bands, while CSNB registered markedly lower values.
Conclusions: CWT and DWT provide complementary and objective insight into ERG responses. Open-source MATLAB toolkit and step-by-step tutorial provided herein lower technical barriers and enable use by the broader community.

Employing a minimal array of electroencephalography (EEG) channels for neonatal sleep stage classification is essential for data acquisition in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), as single-channel and edge-based features can reduce data transfer and processing requirements, enhancing cost-effectiveness and practicality. In this paper, we evaluate the efficacy of a single channel and the viability of a binary classification scheme for discerning awake and sleep states and transitions to quiet sleep. For this, two datasets of EEG signals for neonate sleep analysis were recorded from Children's Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, comprising recordings from 64 and 19 neonates, respectively.

The global spread of Influenza A viruses is worsening economic and social challenges. Various mechanistic models have been developed to understand the virus's spread and evaluate intervention effectiveness. This study aimed to model the temporal dynamics of Influenza A using Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) and wavelet transform approaches.

Ensuring power system safety involves effective arc fault detection and localization. Existing devices struggle to differentiate between normal and abnormal conditions, especially in confined spaces, posing precision challenges. Strategically placing antennas around the arc helps detect electromagnetic radiation, even in limited areas, enabling valuable data collection for real-time monitoring.

In this study, the spectrophotometric method integrated with continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and coupled discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with fuzzy inference system (FIS) was developed for the simultaneous determination of ethinyl estradiol (EE) and drospirenone (DP) in combined oral contraceptives (COCs). The CWT approach was performed in the linearity range of 0.6-6 µg/mL for EE and 0.
