Abstract
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that is characterized by transient and unexpected electrical disturbance of the brain. Seizure detection by electroencephalogram (EEG) is associated with the primary interest of the evaluation and auxiliary diagnosis of epileptic patients. The aim of this study is to establish a hybrid model with improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) and a genetic algorithm (GA) to determine the optimal combination of features for epileptic seizure detection. First, the second-order difference plot (SODP) method was applied, and ten geometric features of epileptic EEG signals were derived in each frequency band (δ, θ, α and β), forming a high-dimensional feature vector. Secondly, an optimization algorithm, AsyLnCPSO-GA, combining a modified PSO with asynchronous learning factor (AsyLnCPSO) and the genetic algorithm (GA) was proposed for feature selection. Finally, the feature combinations were fed to a naïve Bayesian classifier for epileptic seizure and seizure-free identification. The method proposed in this paper achieved 95.35% classification accuracy with a tenfold cross-validation strategy when the interfrequency bands were crossed, serving as an effective method for epilepsy detection, which could help clinicians to expeditiously diagnose epilepsy based on SODP analysis and an optimization algorithm for feature selection.
