Detection of epileptic seizure activities from multi-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals plays a giant position inside the timely treatment of the sufferers with epilepsy. Visual identification of epileptic seizure in long-time period EEG is bulky and tedious for neurologists, which may additionally cause human errors. An automated device for accurate detection of seizures in a protracted-time period multi-channel EEG is crucial for the scientific prognosis. The features selection is based on discrete wavelet transformation (DWT).and feature extraction based GLCM. In the last stage, Probabilistic Neural Network is employed to classify the Normal and epileptic EEG signals.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder of brain and the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are commonly used to detect the epileptic seizures, the result of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. This paper is focussed on the analysis of EEG signal to detect the presence of the epileptic seizure prior to its occurrence. The result could aid the individual in the initiation of delay sensitive diagnostic, therapeutic and alerting procedures. The methodology involves the multi-resolution analysis (MRA) of the EEG signals of epileptic patient. MRA is carried out using discrete wavelet transform with daubechies 8 as the mother wavelet. For EEG data, the database of MJT­-BIH of one of the patient with 41 different cases is used. The result showed that a unique pattern is observed during the spectral analysis of the signal over different bands with positive predictive value of 100%, negative predictive value of 82.35% and the overall accuracy of 85.37%. This unique pattern, basically energy burst in two of the bands of the signal can be used as important feature for the early detection of the epileptic seizure. All the results have been simulated within the Matlab environment.

This paper focuses on the analysis of EEG signal to detect the presence of the epileptic seizure prior to its occurrence. The result could aid the individual in the initiation of delay sensitive diagnostic, therapeutic and alerting procedures. The methodology involves the multi resolution analysis (MRA) of the EEG signals of epileptic patient. MRA is carried out using discrete wavelet transform with daubechies 8 as the mother wavelet. For EEG data, the database of MIT-BIH of seven patients with different cases of epileptic seizure was used. The result with one of the patients showed presence of a unique pattern during the spectral analysis of the signal over different bands. Hence, based on the first patient, similar region is selected with the other patients and the multi-resolution analysis along with the principal component analysis (PCA) for the dimension reduction is carried out. Finally, these are treated with neural network to perform the classification of the signal either the epilepsy is occurring or not. The final results showed 100% accuracy with the detection with the neural network however it uses a large amount of data for analysis. Thus, the same was tested with dimension reduction using PCA which reduced the average accuracy to 89.51%. All the results have been simulated within the Matlab environment.

Epilepsy is a critical neurological disorder with critical influences on the way of living of its victims and prominent features such as persistent convulsion periods followed by unconsciousness. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the commonly used devices for seizure recognition and epilepsy detection. Recognition of convulsions using EEG waves takes a relatively long time because it is conducted physically by epileptologists. The EEG signals are analyzed and categorized, after being captured, into two types, which are normal or abnormal (indicating an epileptic seizure).  This study relies on EEG signals which are provided by Arrhythmia Database. Thus, this work is a step beyond the traditional database mission of delivering users’ inquiries; instead, this work is to extract insight and knowledge of such data. The features are extracted from the signals by applying the Discrete Wavelet transform (DWT) method on the input EEG signals. Two different algorithms Support vector machine (SVM) and k-nearest neighbours (KNN) are applied to the extracted features. After using the above method, two different types of EEG are expected by using classification, either to be normal (refers to the normal activeness of the brain) or abnormal (refers to the non-normal activeness of the brain, which may involve epilepsy). The evaluation is based on three parameters (Precision, Recall, and Accuracy), and also on the implementation time. In this research, two different methods are used, the first is the DWT with SVM, and the second is the DWT with KNN. With regard to the three-parameter values and implementation time, it turned out that the second method was more efficient than the first because of its higher accuracy.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals have great importance in the area of brain-computer interface (BCI) which has diverse applications ranging from medicine to entertainment. BCI acquires brain signals, extracts informative features and generates control signals from the knowledge of these features for functioning of external devices. The objective of this work is twofold. Firstly, to extract suitable features related to hand movements and secondly, to discriminate the left and right hand movements signals finding effective classifier. This work is a continuation of our previous study where beta band was found compatible for hand movement analysis. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has been used to separate beta band of the EEG signal in order to extract features.  The performance of a probabilistic neural network (PNN) is investigated to find better classifier of left and right hand movements EEG signals and compared with classical back propagation based neural network. The obtained results shows that PNN (99.1%) has better classification rate than the BP (88.9%). The results of this study are expected to be helpful in brain computer interfacing for hand movements related bio-rehabilitation applications.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a fundamental and unique tool for exploring human brain activity in general and epileptic mechanism in particular. It offers significant information about epileptic seizures source known as epileptogenic area. However, it is often complicated to detect critical changes in EEG signals by visual examination, since this signal aspect of epileptic persons seems to be normal out of the seizure. Thus, the challenge is to design such a robust and automatic system to detect these unseen changes and use them for diagnosis. In this research, we apply the Artificial Metaplasticity Multi-Layer Perceptron (AMMLP) together with discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to Bonn EEG signals for seizure detection goal. Significant features were then extracted from the well-known EEG brainwaves. Aiming to decrease the computational time and improve classification accuracy, we performed a features ranking and selection employing the Relief algorithm. The obtained AMMLP classification accuracy of 98.97% proved the effctiveness of the applied approach. Our results were compared to recent researches results on the same database, proving to be superior or at least an interesting alternative for seizures detection within EEG signals.

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder which manifests as recurrent seizures. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are generally analyzed to study the characteristics of epileptic seizures. In this work, we propose a method for the automated classification of EEG signals into normal, interictal and ictal classes using Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), Higher Order Spectra (HOS) and textures. First the CWT plot was obtained for the EEG signals and then the HOS and texture features were extracted from these plots. Then the statistically significant features were fed to four classifiers namely Decision Tree (DT), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) to select the best classifier. We observed that the SVM classifier with Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel function yielded the best results with an average accuracy of 96%, average sensitivity of 96.9% and average specificity of 97% for 23.6 s duration of EEG data. Our proposed technique can be used as an automatic seizure monitoring software. It can also assist the doctors to cross check the efficacy of their prescribed drugs.

Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by epileptic seizures, wherein electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the most common technologies used to diagnose, monitor, and manage patients with epilepsy. A large number of EEGs have been recorded in clinical applications, which leads to visual inspection of huge volumes of EEG not routinely possible. Hence, automated detection of epileptic seizure has become a goal of many researchers for a long time. A novel method is therefore proposed to construct a patient-specific detector based on spatial-temporal complexity analysis, involving two commonly used entropy-based complexity analysis methods, which are permutation entropy (PE) and sample entropy (SE). The performance of spatial-temporal complexity method is evaluated on a shared dataset. Results suggest that the proposed epilepsy detectors achieve promising performance: the average sensitivities of PE and SE in 23 patients are 99% and 96.6%, respectively. Moreover, both methods can accurately recognize almost all the seizure-free EEG. The proposed method not only obtains a high accuracy rate but also meets the real-time requirements for its application on seizure detection, which suggests that the proposed method has the potential of detecting epileptic seizures in real time.

One of the problems solved by analyzing the data of long-term Video EEG monitoring is the differentiation of epileptic and artifact events. For this, not only multichannel EEG signals are used, but also video data analysis, since traditional methods based on the analysis of EEG wavelet spectrograms cannot reliably distinguish an epileptic seizure from a chewing artifact. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for detecting artifact events based on a joint analysis of the level of the optical flow and the ridges of wavelet spectrograms. The preliminary results of the analysis of real clinical data are given. The results show the possibility in principle of reliable distinguishing non-epileptic events from epileptic seizures.
