Epileptic Seizure Detection Based on Time-Frequency Images of EEG Signals Using Gaussian Mixture Model and Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix Features

Abstract

The electroencephalogram (EEG) signal analysis is a valuable tool in the evaluation of neurological disorders, which is commonly used for the diagnosis of epileptic seizures. This paper presents a novel automatic EEG signal classification method for epileptic seizure detection. The proposed method first employs a continuous wavelet transform (CWT) method for obtaining the time-frequency images (TFI) of EEG signals. The processed EEG signals are then decomposed into five sub-band frequency components of clinical interest since these sub-band frequency components indicate much better discriminative characteristics. Both Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) features and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) descriptors are then extracted from these sub-band TFI. Additionally, in order to improve classification accuracy, a compact feature selection method by combining the ReliefF and the support vector machine-based recursive feature elimination (RFE-SVM) algorithm is adopted to select the most discriminative feature subset, which is an input to the SVM with the radial basis function (RBF) for classifying epileptic seizure EEG signals. The experimental results from a publicly available benchmark database demonstrate that the proposed approach provides better classification accuracy than the recently proposed methods in the literature, indicating the effectiveness of the proposed method in the detection of epileptic seizures.

“…Then, the high-order network is pruned by the MST method to construct the MST high-order network. The classification accuracy (ACC), sensitivity (SEN) (Wang et al, 2017 ), specificity (SPE), and AUC (Li et al, 2018 ) are used to measure the classification performance of different classification methods. The classification results are summarized in Table 1 .…”

A Unified Framework and Method for EEG-Based Early Epileptic Seizure Detection and Epilepsy Diagnosis

“…Lots of methods have been proposed based on statistical analysis. A well established mechanism is described as follows: a regressive model (e.g., linear model [10], [11], logistic model [12], gaussian model [13], [14]), is first used to characterize the dynamic behavior of EEG signals; temporal anomalies are then calculated to quantify the possibilities that indicates a change happening; hypothesis testing is finally adopted for decision making.…”

Pair-Wise Matching of EEG Signals for Epileptic Identification via Convolutional Neural Network

“…Within this framework, the LBP operator was conducted on the WT-based representations and fed into a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. In the work presented in [13], Li et al proposed an automatic EEG signal classification method for epileptic seizure recognition with a continuous WT. Both Gaussian Mixture model (GMM) and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) features were employed.…”
