An Analysis Research for Digitized Features of Epileptic EEG Using SVM

Article Preview

Abstract:

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders that greatly disturb patients’ daily lives. Traditional epileptic diagnosis relies on tedious visual screening by neurologists from lengthy EEG recording that requires the presence of seizure (ictal) activities. We proposed to study automated epileptic diagnosis using interictal EEG data that was much easier to collect than ictal data. The research aims to develop an automated diagnostic system that can use interictal EEG data to diagnose whether the person is epileptic. This system could also test epileptic seizures in order to provide doctors with further tests and potential monitor of patients. To test such a system, we extract power spectral feature, Petrosian fractal dimension, Higuchi fractal dimension and Hjorth parameters for analysis, from which we find our system can be used in patient monitoring(seizure detection) and seizure focus localization, with 98.333% and75.5% accuracy respectively.
