In the quest to realize a comprehensive EEG signal processing framework, in this paper, we demonstrate a toolbox and graphic user interface, EEGsig, for the full process of EEG signals. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive suite, free and open-source framework for EEG signal processing where the users especially physicians who do not have programming experience can focus on their practical requirements to speed up the medical projects. Developed on MATLAB software, we have aggregated all the three EEG signal processing steps, including preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification into EEGsig. In addition to a varied list of useful features, in EEGsig, we have implemented three popular classification algorithms (K-NN, SVM, and ANN) to assess the performance of the features. Our experimental results demonstrate that our novel framework for EEG signal processing attained excellent classification results and feature extraction robustness under different machine learning classifier algorithms. Besides, in EEGsig, for selecting the best feature extracted, all EEG signal channels can be visible simultaneously; thus, the effect of each task on the signal can be visible. We believe that our user-centered MATLAB package is an encouraging platform for novice users as well as offering the highest level of control to expert users

Compared to the conventional metasurface design, machine learning-based methods have recently created an inspiring platform for an inverse realization of the metasurfaces. Here, we have used the Deep Neural Network (DNN) for the generation of desired output unit cell structures in an ultra-wide working frequency band for both TE and TM polarized waves. To automatically generate metasurfaces in a wide range of working frequencies from 4 to 45 GHz, we deliberately design an 8 ring-shaped pattern in such a way that the unit-cells generated in the dataset can produce single or multiple notches in the desired working frequency band. Compared to the general approach, whereby the final metasurface structure may be formed by any randomly distributed "0" and "1", we propose here a restricted output structure. By restricting the output, the number of calculations will be reduced and the learning speed will be increased. Moreover, we have shown that the accuracy of the network reaches 91\%. Obtaining the final unit cell directly without any time-consuming optimization algorithms for both TE and TM polarized waves, and high average accuracy, promises an effective strategy for the metasurface design; thus, the designer is required only to focus on the design goal.
