In recent decades, an epileptic seizure is a neurological disorder, which is commonly detected from intracranial Electroencephalogram (iEEG) signals. However, the visual interpretation and inspection of iEEG signal is subjective variability, a time-consuming mechanism, slow and vulnerable to errors. In this research article, an automated epileptic seizure detection model is proposed to highlight the above-mentioned concerns. The proposed automated model integrates the Reconstruction Independent Component Analysis (RICA) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) for seizure detection. In the proposed model, RICA is utilized to extract the features from the normalized iEEG signals, and then the obtained feature vectors are fed to the LSTM network for classification, which effectively classifies inter-ictal and ictal iEEG signals. This experimental outcome showed that the proposed RICA-LSTM model achieved an accuracy of 98.92%, sensitivity of 99.01%, specificity of 98.68%, balanced accuracy of 99.24%, and f-score of 98.25% in epileptic seizure recognition on the SWEC-ETHZ iEEG database, which is better compared to the conventional machine learning classifiers.

Automatic seizure detection is of great significance for epilepsy diagnosis and alleviating the massive burden caused by manual inspection of long-term EEG. At present, most seizure detection methods are highly patient-dependent and have poor generalization performance. In this study, a novel patient-independent approach is proposed to effectively detect seizure onsets. First, the multi-channel EEG recordings are preprocessed by wavelet decomposition. Then, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with proper depth works as an EEG feature extractor. Next, the obtained features are fed into a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network to further capture the temporal variation characteristics. Finally, aiming to reduce the false detection rate (FDR) and improve the sensitivity, the postprocessing, including smoothing and collar, is performed on the outputs of the model. During the training stage, a novel channel perturbation technique is introduced to enhance the model generalization ability. The proposed approach is comprehensively evaluated on the CHB-MIT public scalp EEG database as well as a more challenging SH-SDU scalp EEG database we collected. Segment-based average accuracies of 97.51% and 93.70%, event-based average sensitivities of 86.51% and 89.89%, and average AUC-ROC of 90.82% and 90.75% are yielded on the CHB-MIT database and SH-SDU database, respectively.

In the traditional slow feature analysis (SFA), the expansion of polynomial basis function lacks the support of visual computing theories for primates, and cannot learn the uniform, continuous long short-term features through selective visual mechanism. To solve the defects, this paper designs and implements a slow feature algorithm coupling visual selectivity and multiple long short-term memory networks (LSTMs). Inspired by the visual invariance theory of natural images, this paper replaces the principal component analysis (PCA) of traditional SFA algorithm with myTICA (TICA: topologically independent component analysis) to extract image invariant Gabor basis functions, and initialize the space and series of basis functions. In view of the ability of the LSTM to learn long and short-term features, four LSTM algorithms were constructed to separately predict the long and short-term visual selectivity features of Gabor basis functions from the basis function series, and combine the functions into a new basis function, thereby solving the defect of polynomial prediction algorithms. In addition, a Lipschitz consistency condition was designed, and used to develop an approximate orthogonal pruning technique, which optimizes the prediction basis functions, and constructs a hyper-complete space for the basis function. The performance of our algorithm was evaluated by three metrics and mySFA’s classification method. The experimental results show that our algorithm achieved a good prediction effect on INRIA Holidays dataset, and outshined SFA, graph-based SFA (SFA), TICA, and myTICA in accuracy and feasibility; when the threshold was 6, the recognition rate of our algorithm was 99.98%, and the false accept rate (FAR) and false reject rate (FRR) were both smaller than 0.02%, indicating the strong classification ability of our approach.
