In this study, it has been intended to perform an automatic classification of Electroencephalography (EEG) signals via Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and to investigate these signals using Wavelet Transform (WT) for diagnosing epilepsy syndrome. EEG signals have been decomposed into frequency sub-bands using WT and a set of feature vectors which were extracted from the sub-bands. Dimensions of these feature vectors have been reduced via Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method and then classified as epileptic or healthy using Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and ELMAN ANN. Performance evaluation of the used ANN models have been carried out by performing Receiver Operation Characteristic (ROC) analysis.

In this study, it has been intended to analyze Electroencephalography (EEG) signals by Wavelet Transform (WT) for diagnosis of epilepsy, to employ various Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for the signals' automatic classification. Furthermore, carrying out a performance comparison has been aimed. Three EEG signals have been decomposed into frequency sub bands by WT and the feature vectors have been extracted from these sub bands. In order to reduce the sizes of the extracted feature vectors, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method has been applied when necessary and these feature vectors have been classified by five different ANNs as either epileptic or healthy. The performance evaluation has been carried out by conducting ROC analysis for the used ANN models that and their comparisons have also been included.
