Machine Learning Classification of Epileptic Seizures Based on EEG

Machine Learning Classification of Epileptic Seizures Based on Electroencephalogram using Third-Ordered Cumulants and Adaptive Fractal Analysis Techniques1 IntroductionEpilepsy is one of the serious neurological diseases in the world. Indeed early detection of epileptic seizures will extend the life span of epileptic patients. In this regard a lot of efforts has been done to predict epileptic seizures based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals. In literature there are many feature-based seizure classification methods quoted. No method is proved perfectly in capturing a standard set of features with the dynamics of signals. It is a common neurological disorder caused by the abnormally rapid release of brain nerve cells that is characterized by seizures. The scalp or intracranial Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals obtained in the clinic typically exhibit characteristics such as chaos nonlinearity etc.Deep neural networks have made significant advances in the field of machine learning during the last era. The model can learn effective representations from raw data in both supervised and unsupervised contexts by creating a hierarchical or deep structure.
