An epileptic seizure detection system based on cepstral analysis and generalized regression neural network

Abstract This study introduces a new and effective epileptic seizure detection system based on cepstral analysis utilizing generalized regression neural network for classifying electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. The EEG recordings are obtained from an open database which has been widely studied with many different combinations of feature extraction and classification techniques. Cepstral analysis technique is mainly used for speech recognition, seismological problems, mechanical part tests, etc. Utility of cepstral analysis based features in EEG signal classification is explored in the paper. In the proposed study, mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) are computed in the feature extraction stage and used in neural network based classification stage. MFCCs are calculated based on a frequency analysis depending on filter bank of approximately critical bandwidths. The experimental results have shown that the proposed method is superior to most of the previous studies using the same dataset in classification accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. This achieved success is the result of applying cepstral analysis technique to extract features. The system is promising to be used in real time seizure detection systems as the neural network adopted in the proposed method is inherently of non-iterative nature.
