摘要
Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological disorders affecting 70 million people worldwide.The present work is focused on designing an efficient algorithm for automatic seizure detection by using electroencephalogram(EEG) as a noninvasive procedure to record neuronal activities in the brain.EEG signals' underlying dynamics are extracted to differentiate healthy and seizure EEG signals.Shannon entropy,collision entropy,transfer entropy,conditional probability,and Hjorth parameter features are extracted from subbands of tunable Q wavelet transform.Efficient decomposition level for different feature vector is selected using the Kruskal-Wallis test to achieve good classification.Different features are combined using the discriminant correlation analysis fusion technique to form a single fused feature vector.The accuracy of the proposed approach is higher for Q=2 and J=10.Transfer entropy is observed to be significant for different class combinations.Proposed approach achieved 100% accuracy in classifying healthy-seizure EEG signal using simple and robust features and hidden Markov model with less computation time.The proposed approach efficiency is evaluated in classifying seizure and non-seizure surface EEG signals.The system has achieved 96.87% accuracy in classifying surface seizure and nonseizure EEG segments using efficient features extracted from different J level.
