Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Epilepsy diagnosis relies on identifying interictal spikes and sharp waves in human electroencephalography (EEG).
  • Traditional spike detection methods based on amplitude and duration are unreliable due to artifacts and background noise.
  • Accurate detection is crucial for long-term EEG monitoring in epilepsy patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a more reliable method for detecting epileptic spikes in EEG signals.
  • To explore the utility of wavelet transform for analyzing EEG manifestations of epilepsy.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of EEG signals using wavelet transform.
  • Characterizing the behavior of epileptic spikes across different scales in the wavelet domain.
