A medium‐weight deep convolutional neural network‐based approach for onset epileptic seizures classification in EEG signals

Abstract

Introduction Epileptic condition can be detected in EEG data seconds before it occurs, according to evidence. To overcome the related long‐term mortality and morbidity from epileptic seizures, it is critical to make an initial diagnosis, uncover underlying causes, and avoid applicable risk factors. Progress in diagnosing onset epileptic seizures can ensure that seizures and destroyed damages are detectable at the time of manifestation. Previous seizure detection models had problems with the presence of multiple features, the lack of an appropriate signal descriptor, and the time‐consuming analysis, all of which led to uncertainty and different interpretations. Deep learning has recently made tremendous progress in categorizing and detecting epilepsy. Method This work proposes an effective classification strategy in response to these issues. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used to breakdown the EEG signal, and a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) is used to diagnose epileptic seizures in the first phase. Using a medium‐weight DCNN (mw‐DCNN) architecture, we use a preprocess phase to improve the decision‐maker method. The proposed approach was tested on the CHEG‐MIT Scalp EEG database's collected EEG signals. Result The results of the studies reveal that the mw‐DCNN algorithm produces proper classification results under various conditions. To solve the uncertainty challenge, K‐fold cross‐validation was used to assess the algorithm's repeatability at the test level, and the accuracies were evaluated in the range of 99%–100%. Conclusion The suggested structure can assist medical specialistsin analyzing epileptic seizures' EEG signals more precisely.
