One and Two Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks for Seizure Detection Using EEG Signals

Deep learning for the automated detection of epileptic seizures has received much attention during recent years. In this work, one dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) and two dimensional convolutional neural network (2D-CNN) are simultaneously used on electroencephalogram (EEG) data for seizure detection. Firstly, using sliding windows without overlap on raw EEG to obtain the definite one-dimension time EEG segments (1D-T), and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) for 1D-T signals to obtain the two-dimension time-frequency representations (2D-TF). Then, 1D-CNN and 2D-CNN model architectures are used on 1D-T and 2D-TF signals for automatic classification, respectively. Finally, the classification results from 1D-CNN and 2D-CNN are showed. In the two-classification and three-classification problems of seizure detection, the highest accuracy can reach 99.92% and 99.55%, respectively. It shows that the proposed method for a benchmark clinical dataset can achieve good performance in terms of seizure detection.peerReviewe
