The automatic spike detection in EEG is significant in both diagnosing illness and alleviating the heavy labour force of the doctor. This paper proposes a new EMD based method to complete spike detection. It decomposes a signal into a few intrinsic mode functions (IMF), and then applies the nonlinear energy operator (NEO) to the first IMF to complete the automatic detection. Sufficient results are obtained by applying this method to the spike detection of the simulation signal and the real epileptic EEG signal.
