Abstract
Epileptic seizure is the most common disorder of human brain, which is generally detected from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. In this paper, we have proposed the new features based on the phase space representation (PSR) for classification of epileptic seizure and seizure-free EEG signals. The EEG signals are firstly decomposed using empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and phase space has been reconstructed for obtained intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). For the purpose of classification of epileptic seizure and seizure-free EEG signals, two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) PSRs have been used. New features based on the 2D and 3D PSRs of IMFs have been proposed for classification of epileptic seizure and seizure-free EEG signals. Two measures have been defined namely, 95% confidence ellipse area for 2D PSR and interquartile range (IQR) of the Euclidian distances for 3D PSR of IMFs of EEG signals. These measured parameters show significant difference between epileptic seizure and seizure-free EEG signals. The combination of these measured parameters for different IMFs has been utilized to form the feature set for classification of epileptic seizure EEG signals. Least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) has been employed for classification of epileptic seizure and seizure-free EEG signals, and its classification performance has been evaluated using different kernels namely, radial basis function (RBF), Mexican hat wavelet and Morlet wavelet kernels. Simulation results with various performance parameters of classifier, have been included to show the effectiveness of the proposed method for classification of epileptic seizure and seizure-free EEG signals.
