Effectual seizure detection using MBBF-GPSO with CNN network.

EEG is the most common test for diagnosing a seizure, where it presents information about the electrical activity of the brain. Automatic Seizure detection is one of the challenging tasks due to limitations of conventional methods with regard to inefficient feature selection, increased computational complexity and time and less accuracy. The situation calls for a practical framework to achieve better performance for detecting the seizure effectively. Hence, this study proposes modified Blackman bandpass filter-greedy particle swarm optimization (MBBF-GPSO) with convolutional neural network (CNN) for effective seizure detection. In this case, unwanted signals (noise) is eliminated by MBBF as it possess better ability in stopband attenuation, and, only the optimized features are selected using GPSO. For enhancing the efficacy of obtaining optimal solutions in GPSO, the time and frequency domain is extracted to complement it. Through this process, an optimized features are attained by MBBF-GPSO. Then, the CNN layer is employed for obtaining the productive classification output using the objective function. Here, CNN is employed due to its ability in automatically learning distinct features for individual class. Such advantages of the proposed system have made it explore better performance in seizure detection that is confirmed through performance and comparative analysis.
