Abstract

Individualized treatment is crucial for epileptic patients with different types of seizures. The difference among patients impacts the drug choice as well as the surgery procedure. With the advance in machine learning, automatic seizure detection could ease the manual time-consuming and labour-intensive procedure for diagnose seizure in the clinical setting. In this paper, we propose a electroencephalography frequency bands selection method that exploits Natural Language Processing (NLP) features from individual’s condition and patients with same seizure types. We used Temple University Hospital (TUH) EEG seizure corpus and conducted experiments with various input data for different seizure types classified using Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The results show that with reduced frequency bands the performance slightly deviates from the whole frequency bands, thus leading to possible resource-efficient implementation for seizure detection.
