In this work, advanced learning and moving window-based methods have been used for epileptic seizure detection. Epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system and roughly affects 50 million people worldwide. The most common non-invasive tool for studying the brain activity of an epileptic patient is the electroencephalogram. Accurate detection of seizure onset is still an elusive work. Electroencephalogram signals belonging to pediatric patients from Children’s Hospital Boston, Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been used in this work to validate the proposed method. For determining between seizure and non-seizure signals, feature extraction techniques based on time-domain, frequency domain, time-frequency domain have been used. Four different methods (decision tree, random forest, artificial neural network, and ensemble learning) have been studied and their performances have been compared using different statistical measures. The test sample technique has been used for the validation of all seizure detection methods. The results show better performance by random forest among all the four classifiers with an accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 91.9%, 94.1%, and 89.7% respectively. The proposed method is suggested as an improved method because it is not channel specific, not patient specific and has a promising accuracy in detecting epileptic seizure.

Epilepsy is a psychiatric condition that has serious consequences for the human brain. The Electroencephalogram (EEG) may reveal a pattern that tells physicians whether an epileptic seizure is likely to occur again. EEG testing may also help the physician exclude other conditions that mimic epilepsy as a reason for the seizure. Now-a-days the researchers are showing much interest in these seizure detection because of its significance in epileptic detection. This paper is addressing an efficient soft computing framework for seizure detection from the EEG signal. The proposed pipeline of work is having the state-of-art as the possibility of achieving the maximum accuracy. The spectral features extracted from the Intrinsic mode functions (IMF) of EEG samples and it is directing the proposed flow towards the efficient detection of seizure and also the random forest algorithm based a convulsion classification is reliable for because of its learning behavior from the huge number of known dataset. The feature selection algorithm in this proposed work is stimulating the overall work towards the maximum true positive rate. This work is implemented on MATLAB platform and dataset were downloaded from the universal database such as Bonn university database. The results obtained from the proposed approach is showing the truthfulness of the approach introduced here.

Epileptic seizure detection plays an important role in the diagnosis of epilepsy and reducing the massive workload of reviewing electroencephalography (EEG) recordings. In this work, a novel algorithm is developed to detect seizures employing log-Euclidean Gaussian kernel-based sparse representation (SR) in long-term EEG recordings. Unlike the traditional SR for vector data in Euclidean space, the log-Euclidean Gaussian kernel-based SR framework is proposed for seizure detection in the space of the symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices, which form a Riemannian manifold. Since the Riemannian manifold is nonlinear, the log-Euclidean Gaussian kernel function is applied to embed it into a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) for performing SR. The EEG signals of all channels are divided into epochs and the SPD matrices representing EEG epochs are generated by covariance descriptors. Then, the testing samples are sparsely coded over the dictionary composed by training samples utilizing log-Euclidean Gaussian kernel-based SR. The classification of testing samples is achieved by computing the minimal reconstructed residuals. The proposed method is evaluated on the Freiburg EEG dataset of 21 patients and shows its notable performance on both epoch-based and event-based assessments. Moreover, this method handles multiple channels of EEG recordings synchronously which is more speedy and efficient than traditional seizure detection methods.
