Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Automatic Detection of Epileptic Seizures Using EEG Signals: A Review

Abstract

Correctly interpreting an electroencephalogram signal with high accuracy is a tedious and time-consuming task that may take several years of manual training due to its complexity, noisy, non-stationarity, and nonlinear nature. To deal with the vast amount of data and recent challenges of meeting the requirements to develop low cost, high speed, low complexity smart internet of medical things computer-aided devices (CAD), artificial intelligence (AI) techniques which consist of machine learning and deep learning (DL) play a vital role in achieving the stated goals. Over the years, machine learning techniques have been developed to detect and classify epileptic seizures. But until recently, DL techniques have been applied in various applications such as image processing and computer visions. However, several research studies have turned their attention to exploring the efficacy of DL to overcome some challenges associated with conventional automatic seizure detection techniques. This article endeavors to review and investigate the fundamentals, applications, and progress of AI-based techniques applied in CAD system for epileptic seizure detection and characterization. It would help in actualizing and realizing smart wireless wearable medical devices so that patients can monitor seizures before their occurrence and help doctors diagnose and treat them. The work reveals that the recent application of DL algorithms improves the realization and implementation of mobile health in a clinical environment.
