Abstract

In this article is discussed the application of a hybrid approach that uses the Wavelet Transform and Artificial Neural Networks in detection and recognition of epileptiform events in EEG signals. It is presented the methodology used to develop a Neural Classifier as well as the experiments and its results through the Neural Networks and Wavelet Transform. The developed Neural Classifier showed good results in the classification of Epileptiform events with and without pre-processing achieving sensitive of 97.14%, specificity of 94.55% and accuracy of 96.14%, suggesting the high sample rate of the EEG signals contributed to achieve these values.
