Abstract

This work introduces a new methodology to select EEG channels related to epileptic seizures by electroencephalogram (EEG) rhythms extraction. Rhythms extraction is an alternative to extract useful information from specific band frequencies, analyze changes in the EEG signals, and detect brain abnormalities. In this approach, the EEG signals are modeled by Exponentially Damped Sinusoidal model (EDS) and the EEG rhythms extraction is based on Stochastic Relevance Analysis (SRA). Achieve results show that EDS model combined with a stochastic relevance measure is a proper alternative for EEG classification of epileptic signals and also could be used for EEG channel selection with seizure activity. The effectiveness of this approach is compared in each experiment with other well known method for feature extraction called as Rhythmic Component Extraction (RCE). This comparison was done based on the performance of the k-NN classifiers and the channels selected were validated by visual inspection and topographic scalp map. The study uses real and multi-channel EEG data and all the experiments have been supervised by an expert neurologist. We conclude that the proposed scheme is a suitable approach for automatic seizure detection at a moderate computational cost, also opening the possibility of formulating new criteria to select, classify or analyze abnormal EEGs channels.
