Epileptic Seizure Prediction Using CSP and LDA for Scalp EEG Signals

الملخص EN

This paper presents a patient-specific epileptic seizure predication method relying on the common spatial pattern- (CSP-) based feature extraction of scalp electroencephalogram (sEEG) signals.

Multichannel EEG signals are traced and segmented into overlapping segments for both preictal and interictal intervals.

The features extracted using CSP are used for training a linear discriminant analysis classifier, which is then employed in the testing phase.

A leave-one-out cross-validation strategy is adopted in the experiments.

The experimental results for seizure prediction obtained from the records of 24 patients from the CHB-MIT database reveal that the proposed predictor can achieve an average sensitivity of 0.89, an average false prediction rate of 0.39, and an average prediction time of 68.71 minutes using a 120-minute prediction horizon.
