Abstract

Automated detection of epileptic seizures is very important for an EEG monitoring system. In this paper, a continuous wavelet transform is proposed to calculate the spectrum of scalp EEG data, the entropy and a scale-averaged wavelet power are extracted to indicate the epileptic seizures by using a moving window technique. The tests of five patients with different seizure types show wavelet spectral entropy and scale-averaged wavelet power are more efficiency than renormalized entropy and Kullback_Leiler (K-L) relative entropy to indicate the epileptic seizures. We suggest that the measures of wavelet spectral entropy and scale-averaged wavelet power should be contained to indicate the epileptic seizures in a new EEG monitoring system.
