Epilepsy Detection by Processing of EEG Signals using Labview Simulation

Abstract

Epileptic seizure or epilepsy commonly known as fits have been occurring one in a 100 in day to day life and the causes to this are many. Inspite of so many causes it appears physically as much as most of the time to a lot of people. The overview of the work presented over here is that the occurrence of the epilepsy to appear physically can be treated or controlled before in hand. There are various methods to do that. This detection before in hand itself is done by various procedures which includes the methods of capturing and monitoring the Electroencephalograph (EEG) signals from the patients, separating the signals with respect to their frequencies and then comparing it with the threshold with respect to their amplitudes. Crossing the threshold indicates the occurrence or initiation of the Epilepsy and thus is beforehand itself indicated by the occurrence of an alarm. This detection here is being performed by using Labview in which Software Simulation is done, the EEG signal samples are given as input and the objective is achieved.

“…The FIR filter has a substantially faster processing speed than the IIR filter. When compared to FIR filters, IIR filters always yield very high co-efficient values, and because there are so many co-efficients accessible, computations are simple [35].…”
