Abstract

Abstract: In this work, a framework is provided for identifying intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) seizures based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) analysis of iEEG signals using forward propagation and feedback neural networks. The performance of 5 different data sets combination classifications is studied using the probabilistic neural network (PNN), learning vector quantization neural network (LVQ) and Elman neural network (ENN). Different feature combinations serve as the input vectors of the classifiers to obtain the best outcomes. It has been found that PNN has less running time and provides better classification accuracy (CA) than ENN and LVQ classifiers for all 5 classification problems. It is worth noticing that the CA for the C-D classification task, which shows the status of pre-ictal versus post-ictal, has been greatly improved, and reached 83.13%. Hence, the epilepsy iEEG signals pattern recognition based on DWT statistical features using the PNN classifier is more suitable for forming a reliable, automatic classification system in order to assist doctors in diagnosis.
