Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview

347
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...

Seizures: Classification

656
Epilepsy is primarily characterized by unpredictable seizures, either provoked by an identifiable factor, such as injury or illness, or unprovoked, occurring spontaneously without apparent cause.
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:

    Area of Science:

    • * Neurology
    • * Biomedical Engineering
    • * Machine Learning

    Background:

    • * Visual inspection of long-term electroencephalography (EEG) is time-consuming for neurologists.
    • * Accurate and efficient seizure detection is crucial for epilepsy diagnosis and treatment.
    • * Existing methods may lack the precision required for comprehensive EEG monitoring.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • * To develop an automated seizure detection method for long-term EEG recordings.
    • * To leverage a bidirectional gated recurrent unit (Bi-GRU) neural network for improved detection accuracy.
    • * To reduce the burden on physicians by automating a tedious diagnostic process.

    Main Methods:

    • * Pre-processing of EEG signals using wavelet transforms for noise reduction.
    • * Feature extraction based on relative energies in specific frequency bands.
    • * Inputting extracted features into a Bi-GRU neural network for classification.
    • * Post-processing steps including moving average filtering, thresholding, and seizure merging.

    Main Results:

    • * Achieved an average sensitivity of 93.89% and specificity of 98.49% on the CHB-MIT scalp EEG database.
    • * Successfully detected 124 out of 128 seizures.
    • * Demonstrated a low average false detection rate of 0.31 per hour over 867.14 hours of testing data.

    Conclusions:

    • * The proposed Bi-GRU based method shows superior performance in automatic seizure detection.
    • * This automated approach holds significant promise for enhancing the monitoring of long-term EEG in epilepsy patients.
    • * The system can potentially improve diagnostic efficiency and patient care in clinical neurology.
