A Novel Automatic Neonatal Seizure Detection System
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel neonatal seizure detection system is proposed including work in the areas of Independent Component Analysis, feature extraction, probability and classification networks. The system comprises of a preprocessing stage to reduce the effect of EEG artifacts and incorporate multichannel analysis and data reduction. A feature extraction stage examines the EEG using techniques from various signal processing approaches. A Probability Estimator compares current and past features to emphasise changes in the state of the EEG. Finally, a classification stage uses the results from the probability estimator to make a decision as to whether the EEG is non-seizure or seizure. Results show promising performance, detecting 45 of 46 seizures in the test data with low false detection rates.

EEG-based neonatal seizure detection with Support Vector Machines
OBJECTIVE The study presents a multi-channel patient-independent neonatal seizure detection system based on the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. METHODS A machine learning algorithm (SVM) is used as a classifier to discriminate between seizure and non-seizure EEG epochs. Two post-processing steps are proposed to increase both the temporal precision and the robustness of the system. Th...

D ysfunction in the central nervous system of the neonate is often rst identi ed through seizures. The di culty in detecting clinical seizures, which involves the observation of physical manifestations characteristic to newborn seizure, has placed greater emphasis on the detection of newborn electroencephalographic (EEG) seizure. The high incidence of newborn seizure has resulted in considerabl...

This chapter highlights the current approaches in automated neonatal seizure detection and in particular focuses on classifier based methods. Automated detection of neonatal seizures has the potential to greatly improve the outcome of patients in the neonatal intensive care unit. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is the only signal on which 100% of electrographic seizures are visible and thus is c...
متن کاملA nonparametric feature for neonatal EEG seizure detection based on a representation of pseudo-periodicity.
Automated methods of neonatal EEG seizure detection attempt to highlight the evolving, stereotypical, pseudo-periodic, nature of EEG seizure while rejecting the nonstationary, modulated, coloured stochastic background in the presence of various EEG artefacts. An important aspect of neonatal seizure detection is, therefore, the accurate representation and detection of pseudo-periodicity in the n...
