                    involves the analysis and treatment of the
                    physiological electrical activities measured using
                    sensors placed on a living thing, in order to
                    provide useful information on which decisions can be
                    made. Recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and
                    Machine Learning (ML) have received a great
                    attention to solve difficult and complex problems
                    related to biosignals analysis and processing; where
                    the traditional signal processing and conventional
                    machine learning techniques have shown their
                    limitations to solve such problems. Indeed, the
                    recent advances in this area have brought an
                    impressive progress to solve several practical and
                    difficult problems in many fields including
                    medicine, e-health, healthcare, neuroscience,
                    brain-computer interface (BCI), neurofeedback,
                    robotics, robotic exoskeletons and biometrics, etc.
                    In this context, the advanced learning techniques
                    such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, deep
                    reinforcement learning, statistical learning have
                    shown their effectiveness to resolve various
                    problems of detection, classification, clustering,
                    segmentation, control, diagnosis, etc.; and thus
                    becomes useful solutions to be investigated more for
                    other open problems. </span></p>
