Abstract:

Epilepsy is a brain disorder related to alteration in the nervous system which affects around 65 million people among the world’s population. Few works are focused on prediction of seizure relied on deep learning approaches, but the capability of optimal design has no longer been absolutely exploited. This work is focused on the seizure prediction obtained from long-short time records using optimized deep learning network model (ODLN). In this paper, the synchronization patterns and its feasibility of distinguishing the pre-ictal from inter-ictal states are examined by utilizing the interaction graph model as a functional connectivity measure. An optimized deep learning network with short- long-term memory is computed for the prediction of epileptic seizures occurrences. For, the modelling of ODLN, pre-analysis is performed with three modules and memory layers. It is finalized from these results; a two-layer ODLN is optimum to perform the epileptic seizure prediction for four different window sizes from 15 to 120 min. The assessment is implemented on the CHB-MIT Scalp EEG data set, providing 100% sensitivity and low false prediction rate ranges from 0.10 to 0.02 for seizure prediction. The proposed ODLN methodology reveals a notable increase in the performance rate of seizure prediction when compared with existing machine learning and Convolutional neural networks methods.
