Abstract

The diagnosis of epilepsy primarily relies on the visual and subjective assessment of the patient’s electroencephalographic (EEG) or intracranial electroencephalographic (iEEG) signals. Neurophysiologists, based on their experience, look for characteristic discharges such as spikes and multi-spikes. One of the main challenges in epilepsy research is developing an automated system capable of detecting epileptic seizures with high sensitivity and precision. Moreover, there is an ongoing search for universal features in iEEG signals that can be easily interpreted by neurophysiologists. This article explores the possibilities, issues, and challenges associated with utilizing artificial intelligence for seizure detection using the publicly available iEEG database. The study presents standard approaches for analyzing iEEG signals, including chaos theory, energy in different frequency bands (alpha, beta, gamma, theta, and delta), wavelet transform, empirical mode decomposition, and machine learning techniques such as support vector machines. It also discusses modern deep learning algorithms such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. Our goal was to gather and comprehensively compare various artificial intelligence techniques, including both traditional machine learning methods and deep learning techniques, which are most commonly used in the field of seizure detection. Detection results were tested on a separate dataset, demonstrating classification accuracy, sensitivity, precision, and specificity of seizure detection. The best results for seizure detection were obtained with features related to iEEG signal energy (accuracy of 0.97, precision of 0.96, sensitivity of 0.99, and specificity of 0.96), as well as features related to chaos, Lyapunov exponents, and fractal dimension (accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and specificity all equal to 0.95). The application of CNN and LSTM networks yielded significantly better results (CNN: Accuracy of 0.99, precision of 0.98, sensitivity of 1, and specificity of 0.99; LSTM: Accuracy of 0.98, precision of 0.96, sensitivity of 1, and specificity of 0.99). Additionally, the use of the gradient-weighted class activation mapping algorithm identified iEEG signal fragments that played a significant role in seizure detection.
