• Electroencephalography (EEG) analysis is a key tool for understanding brain activity related to seizures.
• Existing methods for seizure prediction have limitations in accuracy and timeliness.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop and evaluate a deep learning-based system for the timely prediction of epileptic seizures.
• To enhance the management of epilepsy through accurate crisis detection and prediction.
• To compare the performance of a long short-term memory (LSTM) network with other machine learning models for EEG analysis.

Main Methods:

• Implementation of a seizure prediction system utilizing deep learning algorithms.
• Application of a long short-term memory (LSTM) network for the identification and classification of EEG patterns.
• Comparative analysis against Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and traditional machine learning algorithms.

Main Results:

• The proposed LSTM model demonstrated significant accuracy in predicting impending epileptic crises.
• Predictions were made across four different intervals, ranging from 10 minutes to 1.5 hours.
• The LSTM model exhibited a low rate of incorrect predictions compared to other methods.

Conclusions:

• Deep learning, specifically LSTM networks, offers a powerful approach for EEG-based seizure prediction.
• The developed system can improve the management of epilepsy by providing reliable and timely seizure alerts.
