Abstract

novel three-stage method for the analysis of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals, concerning epileptic seizures, is proposed. First, segments of the EEG signals are analyzed using a time-frequency distribution and then, several features are extracted for each segment, representing the energy distribution over the time-frequency plane. Those features are used as an input in an artificial neural network (ANN), which provides the final classification of the EEG segments (existence of epileptic seizure or not). The evaluation results are very promising, indicating overall accuracy from 89.4% to 99%.
