Single-class SVM classifier for localization of epileptic focus on the basis of EEG

The paper presents the application of a single-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) for localization of the focus region at the epileptic seizure on the basis of EEG registration. The diagnostic features used in recognition are derived from the directed transfer function description, determined for different ranges of EEG signals. The results of the performed numerical experiments for the localization of the seizure focus in the brain have been confirmed by the real surgery of the brain for few patients.
