چکیده

This topic discusses the use of EEG in the diagnosis of seizures and epilepsy. A more general discussion of EEG, and the use of other diagnostic tests in the evaluation of patients with seizures and epilepsy are presented separately. (See "Clinical neurophysiology", section on 'Electroencephalogram' and "Video and ambulatory EEG monitoring in the diagnosis of seizures and epilepsy" and "Evaluation of the first seizure in adults".)

Classifying the Epilepsy Based on the Phase Space Sorted With the Radial Poincaré Sections in Electroencephalography

Background: Epilepsy is a brain disorder that changes the basin geometry of the oscillation of trajectories in the phase space. Nevertheless, recent studies on epilepsy often used the statistical characteristics of this space to diagnose epileptic seizures. Objectives: We evaluated changes caused by the seizures on the mentioned basin by focusing on phase space sorted by Poincaré sections. Ma...

Epileptic Seizure Detection in EEG signals Using TQWT and SVM-GOA Classifier

Background: Epilepsy is a Brain disorder disease that affects people's quality of life. If it is diagnosed at an early stage, it will not be spread. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are used to diagnose epileptic seizures. However, this screening system cannot diagnose epileptic seizure states precisely. Nevertheless, with the help of computer-aided diagnosis systems (CADS), neurologists ca...

Alterations of the electroencephalogram sub-bands amplitude during focal seizures in the pilocarpine model of epilepsy

Introduction: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common and drug resistant epilepsy in adults. Due to behavioral, morphologic and electrographic similarities, pilocarpine model of epilepsy best resembles TLE. This study was aimed at determination of the changes in electroencephalogram (EEG) sub-bands amplitude during focal seizures in the pilocarpine model of epilepsy. Analysis of thes...
