Epilepsy Detection Based on EEG Signals

Abstract

Epilepsy is a brain neurological disorder in which the brain activity becomes abnormal causing unusual behavior, uncontrollable jerking movements, sensation and sometimes loss of awareness, affecting 71 million people world-wide. ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) is used to measure the electro-neurological activity of the brain. When the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of the noisy data is lower than 0dB the current seizure detection method can’t maintain a strong performance. The SNR of the noise data is below 0dB or negative means that EEG data is corrupted with serious levels of noise.
