description In this paper, we propose a textural information-based analysis of scalogram image obtained from continuous wavelet transform of heart rate variability (HRV) signal to study its dynamics during meditation. In addition to features from scalogram image, visibility graph-based complexity measures and multiscale permutation entropies (MPEs) from HRV signal are used to elucidate the modulation in autonomic activity of heart during meditative and non-meditative state. Significant changes in the probability distribution of pixel intensities of scalogram image and undiminished permutation entropy at higher scales are observed during the meditative state. From the extracted features, we have selected the top-ranked features based on ReliefF algorithm and minimum threshold weight of importance set at 0.04. Considering the small sample size (12 subjects) of meditation dataset, we have employed a novel data augmentation technique based on averaging of feature sets to overcome the issue of overfitting. To examine the efficacy of the proposed technique, both the non-augmented and augmented data are applied to four different classifiers, namely k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression and random forest classifiers. Experimental results demonstrate that performance of classifiers in distinguishing meditative and pre-meditative state are much superior with the augmented data as compared to that with regular non-augmented data. Out of these classifiers, radial basis function (RBF)-based SVM classifier results in the best performance with an average accuracy of 96.67%, sensitivity of 95.83% and specificity of 97.5%.
