Performance Evaluation of Spectrogram Based Epilepsy Detection Techniques Using Gray Scale Features
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is most common instrument for treatment and diagnosis of brain related diseases. Analysis of EEG signals for treatment of patient is time consuming and not easy task for neurologist. There is always a chance of human error. The purpose of this paper is to present an automatic detection model for epileptic seizure from EEG signals. To fulfill this objective, EEG signals are preprocessed and converted into spectrogram images using Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT). From this spectrogram images gray scale features are extracted. Support Vector Machine (SVM) with six different kernel functions and three data division protocols are utilized for performance evaluation of proposed model. Results show that quadratic SVM classifier has achieved highest classification accuracy.
