Abstract

This paper proposes a new algorithm for epileptic seizure onset detection in EEG signals. The algorithm relies on the measure of the entropy of observed data sequences. Precisely, the data is decomposed into different brain rhythms using wavelet multi-scale transformation. The resulting coefficients are represented using their generalized Gaussian distribution. The proposed algorithm estimates the parameters of the distribution and the associated entropy. Next, an ensemble bagging classifier is used to performs the seizure onset detection using the entropy of each brain rhythm, by discriminating between seizure and non-seizure. Preliminary experiments with 105 epileptic events suggest that the proposed methodology is a powerful tool for detecting seizures in epileptic signals in terms of classification accuracy, sensitivity and specificity.
