Seizures: Classification

596
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:

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview

281
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Artificial Intelligence in Neurology
    • Computational Neuroscience
    • Medical Device Technology

    Background:

    • Manual analysis of intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) for seizure detection is time-consuming.
    • Accurate electrographic seizure classification (ESC) and seizure onset detection (SOD) are crucial for epilepsy management.
    • Treatment-resistant epilepsy patients require efficient and precise diagnostic tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore AI-based approaches for ESC and SOD in iEEG recordings.
    • To evaluate the performance of various AI models, including Vision Transformers (ViTs), for seizure analysis.
    • To assess the potential of AI to aid in personalized epilepsy treatment strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessed image-based and time-series-based AI models (CNNs, ViTs, time-series transformers) for ESC and SOD.
    • Utilized a large dataset of iEEG traces from 291 focal epilepsy patients with the NeuroPace RNS® system.
    • Conducted extensive experiments varying model parameters, input formats, and initializations.

    Main Results:

    • Vision Transformers (ViTs) demonstrated superior performance in both ESC and SOD tasks.
    • ViTs achieved 97% accuracy for ESC on cross-validation and 96% on a clinician-annotated test set.
    • ViTs achieved a median absolute error (MAE) of 1.4s for SOD on cross-validation and 0.8s on the test set.

    Conclusions:

    • Image-based AI, particularly ViTs, effectively captures seizure patterns from iEEG data.
    • AI-driven ESC and SOD can reduce manual review time for clinicians.
    • AI tools hold promise for developing personalized epilepsy treatment strategies.
