A CNN Approach for Enhanced Epileptic Seizure Detection Through EEG Analysis

Journal Title: Healthcraft Frontiers - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

Epilepsy, the most prevalent neurological disorder, is marked by spontaneous, recurrent seizures due to widespread neuronal discharges in the brain. This condition afflicts approximately 1% of the global population, with only two-thirds responding to antiepileptic drugs and a smaller fraction benefiting from surgical interventions. The social stigma and emotional distress associated with epilepsy underscore the importance of timely and accurate seizure detection, which can significantly enhance patient outcomes and quality of life. This research introduces a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture for epileptic seizure detection, leveraging electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Contrasted with traditional machine-learning methodologies, this innovative approach demonstrates superior performance in seizure prediction. The accuracy of the proposed CNN model is established at 97.52%, outperforming the highest accuracy of 93.65% achieved by the Discriminant Analysis classifier among the various classifiers evaluated. The findings of this study not only present a groundbreaking method in the realm of epileptic seizure recognition but also reinforce the potential of deep learning techniques in medical diagnostics.
