Prediction of epileptic seizures using accumulated energy in a multiresolution framework.

Records of brain electrical activity from intracranial EEG of four patients with different types of epilepsy are analyzed to predict the epileptic seizure onset. A method based on the evolution of the accumulated energy using wavelet analysis is introduced. This is an efficient method to predict epileptic seizures: from 13 preseizure signals, the seizure onset in 12 of those are predicted.

Detection of epileptic events in electroencephalograms using wavelet analysis.

This study deals with the problem of identification of epileptic events in electroencephalograms using multiresolution wavelet analysis. The following problems are analyzed: time localization and characterization of epileptiform events, and computational efficiency of the method. The algorithm presented is based on a polynomial spline wavelet transform. The multiresolution representation obtained from this wavelet transform and the corresponding digital filters derived allows time localization of epileptiform activity. The proposed detector is based on the multiresolution energy function. Electroencephalogram records from epileptic patients were analyzed, and results obtained are shown. Some comparisons with other methods are given.
