EPILEPTIFORM DISCHARGES DETECTION FROM EEG SIGNALS USING GROUPED-CHANNEL RESTRICTED BAND ANALYSIS

Epileptiform activities can be detected by scanning the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of an epileptic patient. Since EEG provides multi-channel signals, it is an opportunity to employ multi-spectrum signal processing techniques for improving the accuracy of signal separation or feature extraction. Although multi-channel signals provide stronger characteristics than a single signal for feature extraction, taking all of the EEG signals into consideration may interfere with the accuracy of epileptiform discharge detection because a part of the signals that do not contain the epileptic activity will be treated as noise. In this paper, we developed a new signature analysis scheme, grouped-channel restricted band analysis (GRBA), for interictal epileptiform discharges (IED) detection from EEG signals. Unlike most traditional epileptic activity detection techniques that inaccurately take single or all EEG signals into consideration, GRBA simultaneously considers three important characteristics of epileptifo...
