Abstract
AbstractEpilepsy is a brain disorder that causes patients to have multiple seizures. About 30% of patients with epilepsy are not treated with medication or surgery. The abnormal activity of brain before occurring of a seizure (about a few minutes before a seizure occurs) are known as the preictal area. Therefore, if we can predict this state, we can control possible seizures by using appropriate medications. In this study, we present a method for predicting epileptic seizures using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The method can identify the preictal region that occurs before the onset of seizures. In our proposed method, first the noise removal of EEG signals is performed, and then the necessary features are extracted using a convolution neural network. Finally, we use the feature vectors in order to train multiple classifiers, fully connected layer, random forest, and support vector machines with linear kernel. Additionally, we apply maximum voting, which is an ensemble method, to classify preictal segments from interictal ones. In this study, using EEG signals of patients from CHB‐MIT dataset, we were able to achieve sensitivity of 90.76%.
