Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases often exhibit a strong link with sleep disruption, highlighting the importance of effective sleep stage monitoring. In this light, automatic sleep stage classification (ASSC) plays a pivotal role, now more streamlined than ever due to the advancements in deep learning (DL). However, the opaque nature of DL models can be a barrier in their clinical adoption, due to trust concerns among medical practitioners. To bridge this gap, we introduce SleepBoost, a transparent multi-level tree-based ensemble model specifically designed for ASSC. Our approach includes a crafted feature engineering block (FEB) that extracts 41 time and frequency domain features, out of which 23 are selected based on their high mutual information score (> 0.23). Uniquely, SleepBoost integrates three fundamental linear models into a cohesive multi-level tree structure, further enhanced by a novel reward-based adaptive weight allocation mechanism. Tested on the Sleep-EDF-20 dataset, SleepBoost demonstrates superior performance with an accuracy of 86.3%, F1-score of 80.9%, and Cohen kappa score of 0.807, outperforming leading DL models in ASSC. An ablation study underscores the critical role of our selective feature extraction in enhancing model accuracy and interpretability, crucial for clinical settings. This innovative approach not only offers a more transparent alternative to traditional DL models but also extends potential implications for monitoring and understanding sleep patterns in the context of neurodegenerative disorders. The open-source availability of SleepBoost's implementation at https://github.com/akibzaman/SleepBoost can further facilitate its accessibility and potential for widespread clinical adoption.

Abstract
Timely and accurately seizure detection is of great importance for the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy patients. Existing seizure detection models are often complex and time-consuming, highlighting the urgent need for lightweight seizure detection. Additionally, existing methods often neglect the key characteristic channels and spatial regions of electroencephalography (EEG) signals. To solve these issues, we propose a lightweight EEG-based seizure detection model named lightweight inverted residual attention network (LRAN). Specifically, we employ a four-stage inverted residual mobile block (iRMB) to effectively extract the hierarchical features from EEG. The convolutional block attention module (CBAM) is introduced to make the model focus on important feature channels and spatial information, thereby enhancing the discrimination of the learned features. Finally, convolution operations are used to capture local information and spatial relationships between features. We conduct intra-subject and inter-subject experiments on a publicly available dataset. Intra-subject experiments obtain 99.25% accuracy in segment-based detection and 0.36/h false detection rate (FDR) in event-based detection, respectively. Inter-subject experiments obtain 84.32% accuracy. Both sets of experiments maintain high classification accuracy with a low number of parameters, where the multiply accumulate operations (MACs) are 25.86[Formula: see text]M and the number of parameters is 0.57[Formula: see text]M.

Abstract
Epilepsy affects more than 50 million people worldwide, making it one of the world's most prevalent neurological diseases. The main symptom of epilepsy is seizures, which occur abruptly and can cause serious injury or death. The ability to predict the occurrence of an epileptic seizure could alleviate many risks and stresses people with epilepsy face. We formulate the problem of detecting preictal (or pre-seizure) with reference to normal EEG as a precursor to incoming seizure. To this end, we developed several supervised deep learning approaches model to identify preictal EEG from normal EEG. We further develop novel unsupervised deep learning approaches to train the models on only normal EEG, and detecting pre-seizure EEG as an anomalous event. These deep learning models were trained and evaluated on two large EEG seizure datasets in a person-specific manner. We found that both supervised and unsupervised approaches are feasible; however, their performance varies depending on the patient, approach and architecture. This new line of research has the potential to develop therapeutic interventions and save human lives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The seizure prediction algorithms have demonstrated their potential in mitigating epilepsy risks by detecting the pre-ictal state using ongoing electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. However, most of them require high-density EEG, which is burdensome to the patients for daily monitoring. Moreover, prevailing seizure models require extensive training with significant labeled data which is very time-consuming and demanding for the epileptologists. METHOD To address these challenges, here we propose an adaptive channel selection strategy and a semi-supervised deep learning model respectively to reduce the number of EEG channels and to limit the amount of labeled data required for accurate seizure prediction. Our channel selection module is centered on features from EEG power spectra parameterization that precisely characterize the epileptic activities to identify the seizure-associated channels for each patient. The semi-supervised model integrates generative adversarial networks and bidirectional long short-term memory networks to enhance seizure prediction. RESULTS Our approach is evaluated on the CHB-MIT and Siena epilepsy datasets. With utilizing only 4 channels, the method demonstrates outstanding performance with an AUC of 93.15% on the CHB-MIT dataset and an AUC of 88.98% on the Siena dataset. Experimental results also demonstrate that our selection approach reduces the model parameters and training time. CONCLUSIONS Adaptive channel selection coupled with semi-supervised learning can offer the possible bases for a light weight and computationally efficient seizure prediction system, making the daily monitoring practical to improve patients' quality of life.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a prevalent chronic disorder of the central nervous system. The timely and accurate seizure prediction using the scalp Electroencephalography (EEG) signal can make patients adopt reasonable preventive measures before seizures occur and thus reduce harm to patients. In recent years, deep learning-based methods have made significant progress in solving the problem of epileptic seizure prediction. However, most current methods mainly focus on modeling short- or long-term dependence in EEG, while neglecting to consider both. In this study, we propose a Parallel Dual-Branch Fusion Network (PDBFusNet) which aims to combine the complementary advantages of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Transformer. Specifically, the features of the EEG signal are first extracted using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC). Then, the extracted features are delivered into the parallel dual-branches to simultaneously capture the short- and long-term dependencies of EEG signal. Further, regarding the Transformer branch, a novel feature fusion module is developed to enhance the ability of utilizing time, frequency, and channel information. To evaluate our proposal, we perform sufficient experiments on the public epileptic EEG dataset CHB-MIT, where the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and precision are 95.76%, 95.81%, 95.71% and 95.71%, respectively. PDBFusNet shows superior performance compared to state-of-the-art competitors, which confirms the effectiveness of our proposal.

Abstract
Introduction Accurate classification of single-trial electroencephalogram (EEG) is crucial for EEG-based target image recognition in rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) tasks. P300 is an important component of a single-trial EEG for RSVP tasks. However, single-trial EEG are usually characterized by low signal-to-noise ratio and limited sample sizes. Methods Given these challenges, it is necessary to optimize existing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to improve the performance of P300 classification. The proposed CNN model called PSAEEGNet, integrates standard convolutional layers, pyramid squeeze attention (PSA) modules, and deep convolutional layers. This approach arises the extraction of temporal and spatial features of the P300 to a finer granularity level. Results Compared with several existing single-trial EEG classification methods for RSVP tasks, the proposed model shows significantly improved performance. The mean true positive rate for PSAEEGNet is 0.7949, and the mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) is 0.9341 (p < 0.05). Discussion These results suggest that the proposed model effectively extracts features from both temporal and spatial dimensions of P300, leading to a more accurate classification of single-trial EEG during RSVP tasks. Therefore, this model has the potential to significantly enhance the performance of target recognition systems based on EEG, contributing to the advancement and practical implementation of target recognition in this field.

Calibrating Deep Learning Classifiers for Patient-Independent Electroencephalogram Seizure Forecasting. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 24:2863.

Abstract
The recent scientific literature abounds in proposals of seizure forecasting methods that exploit machine learning to automatically analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Deep learning algorithms seem to achieve a particularly remarkable performance, suggesting that the implementation of clinical devices for seizure prediction might be within reach. However, most of the research evaluated the robustness of automatic forecasting methods through randomized cross-validation techniques, while clinical applications require much more stringent validation based on patient-independent testing. In this study, we show that automatic seizure forecasting can be performed, to some extent, even on independent patients who have never been seen during the training phase, thanks to the implementation of a simple calibration pipeline that can fine-tune deep learning models, even on a single epileptic event recorded from a new patient. We evaluate our calibration procedure using two datasets containing EEG signals recorded from a large cohort of epileptic subjects, demonstrating that the forecast accuracy of deep learning methods can increase on average by more than 20%, and that performance improves systematically in all independent patients. We further show that our calibration procedure works best for deep learning models, but can also be successfully applied to machine learning algorithms based on engineered signal features. Although our method still requires at least one epileptic event per patient to calibrate the forecasting model, we conclude that focusing on realistic validation methods allows to more reliably compare different machine learning approaches for seizure prediction, enabling the implementation of robust and effective forecasting systems that can be used in daily healthcare practice.

Abstract
One of the epileptic patients' challenges is to detect the time of seizures and the possibility of predicting. This research aims to provide an algorithm based on deep learning to detect and predict the time of seizure from one to two minutes before its occurrence. The proposed Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) can detect and predict the occurrence of focal epilepsy seizures through single-lead-ECG signal processing instead of using EEG signals. The structure of the proposed CNN for seizure detection and prediction is the same. Considering the requirements of a wearable system, after a few light pre-processing steps, the ECG signal can be used as input to the neural network without any manual feature extraction step. The desired neural network learns purposeful features according to the labelled ECG signals and then performs the classification of these signals. Training of 39-layer CNN for seizure detection and prediction has been done separately. The proposed method can detect seizures with an accuracy of 98.84% and predict them with an accuracy of 94.29%. With this approach, the ECG signal can be a promising indicator for the construction of portable systems for monitoring the status of epileptic patients.

Abstract
Purpose Approximately 1% of the world population is currently suffering from epilepsy. Successful seizure prediction is necessary for those patients. Influenced by neurons in their own and surrounding locations, the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals collected by scalp electrodes carry information of spatiotemporal interactions. Therefore, it is a great challenge to exploit the spatiotemporal information of EEG signals fully. Methods In this paper, a new seizure prediction model called Gatformer is proposed by fusing the graph attention network (GAT) and the Transformer. The temporal and spatial attention are combined to extract EEG information from the perspective of spatiotemporal interactions. The model aims to explore the temporal dependence of single-channel EEG signals and the spatial correlations among multi-channel EEG signals. It can automatically identify the most noteworthy interaction in brain regions and achieve accurate seizure prediction. Results Compared with the baseline models, the performance of our model is significantly improved. The false prediction rate (FPR) on the private dataset is 0.0064/h. The average accuracy, specificity and sensitivity are 98.25%, 99.36% and 97.65%. Conclusion The proposed model is comparable to the state of the arts. Experiments on different datasets show that it has good robustness and generalization performance. The high sensitivity and low FPR prove that this model has great potential to realize clinical assistance for diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Epileptic seizure detection has undergone progressive advancements since its conception in the 1970s. From proof-of-concept experiments in the latter part of that decade, it has now become a vibrant area of clinical and laboratory research. In an effort to bring this technology closer to practical application in human patients, this study introduces a customized approach to selecting electroencephalogram (EEG) features and electrode positions for seizure prediction. The focus is on identifying precursors that occur within 10 min of the onset of abnormal electrical activity during a seizure. However, there are security concerns related to safeguarding patient EEG recordings against unauthorized access and network-based attacks. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient prediction and classification method for encrypted EEG data. This paper presents an effective system for analyzing and recognizing encrypted EEG information using Arnold transform algorithms, chaotic mapping, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In this system, the EEG time series from each channel is converted into a 2D spectrogram image, which is then encrypted using chaotic algorithms. The encrypted data is subsequently processed by CNNs coupled with transfer learning (TL) frameworks. To optimize the fusion parameters of the ensemble learning classifiers, a hybridized spoofing optimization method is developed by combining the characteristics of corvid and gregarious-seeking agents. The evaluation of the model's effectiveness yielded the following results: 98.9 ± 0.3% accuracy, 98.2 ± 0.7% sensitivity, 98.6 ± 0.6% specificity, 98.6 ± 0.6% precision, and an F1 measure of 98.9 ± 0.6%. When compared with other state-of-the-art techniques applied to the same dataset, this novel strategy demonstrated one of the most effective seizure detection systems, as evidenced by these results.

Abstract
Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are the primary source for discriminating the preictal from the interictal stage, enabling early warnings before the seizure onset. Epileptic siezure prediction systems face significant challenges due to data scarcity, diversity, and privacy. This paper proposes a three-tier architecture for epileptic seizure prediction associated with the Federated Learning (FL) model, which is able to achieve enhanced capability by utilizing a significant number of seizure patterns from globally distributed patients while maintaining data privacy. The determination of the preictal state is influenced by global and local model-assisted decision making by modeling the two-level edge layer. The Spiking Encoder (SE), integrated with the Graph Convolutional Neural Network (Spiking-GCNN), works as the local model trained using a bi-timescale approach. Each local model utilizes the aggregated seizure knowledge obtained from the different medical centers through FL and determines the preictal probability in the coarse-grained personalization. The Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is utilized in fine-grained personalization to recognize epileptic seizure patients by examining the outcomes of the FL model, heart rate variability features, and patient-specific clinical features. Thus, the proposed approach achieved 96.33% sensitivity and 96.14% specificity when tested on the CHB-MIT EEG dataset when modeling was performed using the bi-timescale approach and Spiking-GCNN-based epileptic pattern learning. Moreover, the adoption of federated learning greatly assists the proposed system, yielding a 96.28% higher accuracy as a result of addressing data scarcity.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a highly prevalent brain condition with many serious complications arising from it. The majority of patients which present to a clinic and undergo electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring would be unlikely to experience seizures during the examination period, thus the presence of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) become effective markers for the diagnosis of epilepsy. Furthermore, IED shapes and patterns are highly variable across individuals, yet trained experts are still able to identify them through EEG recordings - meaning that commonalities exist across IEDs that an algorithm can be trained on to detect and generalise to the larger population. This research proposes an IED detection system for the binary classification of epilepsy using scalp EEG recordings. The proposed system features an ensemble based deep learning method to boost the performance of a residual convolutional neural network, and a bidirectional long short-term memory network. This is implemented using raw EEG data, sourced from Temple University Hospital's EEG Epilepsy Corpus, and is found to outperform the current state of the art model for IED detection across the same dataset. The achieved accuracy and Area Under Curve (AUC) of 94.92% and 97.45% demonstrates the effectiveness of an ensemble method, and that IED detection can be achieved with high performance using raw scalp EEG data, thus showing promise for the proposed approach in clinical settings.

Abstract
(1) Background: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes repeated seizures. Since electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns differ in different states (inter-ictal, pre-ictal, and ictal), a seizure can be detected and predicted by extracting various features. However, the brain connectivity network, a two-dimensional feature, is rarely studied. We aim to investigate its effectiveness for seizure detection and prediction. (2) Methods: Two time-window lengths, five frequency bands, and five connectivity measures were used to extract image-like features, which were fed into a support vector machine for the subject-specific model (SSM) and a convolutional neural networks meet transformers (CMT) classifier for the subject-independent model (SIM) and cross-subject model (CSM). Finally, feature selection and efficiency analyses were conducted. (3) Results: The classification results on the CHB-MIT dataset showed that a long window indicated better performance. The best detection accuracies of SSM, SIM, and CSM were 100.00, 99.98, and 99.27%, respectively. The highest prediction accuracies were 99.72, 99.38, and 86.17%, respectively. In addition, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Phase Lock Value connectivity in the β and γ bands showed good performance and high efficiency. (4) Conclusions: The proposed brain connectivity features showed good reliability and practical value for automatic seizure detection and prediction, which expects to develop portable real-time monitoring equipment.

Abstract
Epilepsy is the second common neurological disorder after headache, accurate and reliable prediction of seizures is of great clinical value. Most epileptic seizure prediction methods consider only the EEG signal or extract and classify the features of EEG and ECG signals separately, the improvement of prediction performance from multimodal data is not fully considered. In addition, epilepsy data are time-varying, with differences between each episode in a patient, making it difficult for traditional curve-fitting models to achieve high accuracy and reliability. In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of the prediction system, we propose a novel personalized approach based on data fusion and domain adversarial training to predict epileptic seizures using leave-one-out cross-validation, which achieves an average accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 99.70, 99.76, and 99.61%, respectively, with an average error alarm rate (FAR) of 0.001. Finally, the advantage of this approach is demonstrated by comparison with recent relevant literature. This method will be incorporated into clinical practice to provide personalized reference information for epileptic seizure prediction.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a recurrent chronic brain disease that affects nearly 75 million people around the world. Therefore, the ability to reliably predict epileptic seizures would be instrumental for implementing interventions to reduce brain injury and improve patients' quality of life. In addition to classical machine learning algorithms and feature engineering methods, the use of electroencephalography (EEG) to predict seizures has gradually become a mainstream trend. Here, we propose a patient-specific method to predict epileptic seizures based on EEG data acquired using spatial depth features of a three-dimensional-two-dimensional hybrid convolutional neural network (3D-2D HyCNN) model. This method facilitates the acquisition of abundant and reliable deep features from multi-channel EEG signals. We first developed a reliable data preprocessing method to reconstruct time-series EEG signals into 3D feature images. Then, the 3D-2D HyCNN model was used to extract correlation features between multiple channels of EEG signals, which are automatically exploited by the network to improve seizure prediction. The method achieved accuracy of 98.43% and 93.11%, sensitivity of 98.58% and 90.98%, and specificity of 96.86% and 92.39% on the CHB-MIT Scalp EEG dataset and the American Epilepsy Society Epilepsy Prediction Challenge dataset, respectively. The results revealed that the new algorithm is reliable. Graphical Abstract A new patient-specific epilepsy prediction approach.

Abstract
Although traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global public health issue, not all injuries necessitate additional hospitalisation. Thinking, memory, attention, personality, and movement can all be negatively impacted by TBI. However, only a small proportion of nonsevere TBIs necessitate prolonged observation. Clinicians would benefit from an electroencephalography (EEG)-based computational intelligence model for outcome prediction by having access to an evidence-based analysis that would allow them to securely discharge patients who are at minimal risk of TBI-related mortality. Despite the increasing popularity of EEG-based deep learning research to create predictive models with breakthrough performance, particularly in epilepsy prediction, its use in clinical decision making for the diagnosis and prognosis of TBI has not been as widely exploited. Therefore, utilising 60s segments of unprocessed resting-state EEG data as input, we suggest a long short-term memory (LSTM) network that can distinguish between improved and unimproved outcomes in moderate TBI patients. Complex feature extraction and selection are avoided in this architecture. The experimental results show that, with a classification accuracy of 87.50 ± 0.05%, the proposed prognostic model outperforms three related works. The results suggest that the proposed methodology is an efficient and reliable strategy to assist clinicians in creating an automated tool for predicting treatment outcomes from EEG signals.

Abstract
Detecting brain disorders using deep learning methods has received much hype during the last few years. Increased depth leads to more computational efficiency, accuracy, and optimization and less loss. Epilepsy is one of the most common chronic neurological disorders characterized by repeated seizures. We have developed a deep learning model using Deep convolutional Autoencoder-Bidirectional Long Short Memory for Epileptic Seizure Detection (DCAE-ESD-Bi-LSTM) for automatic detection of seizures using EEG data. The significant feature of our model is that it has contributed to the accurate and optimized diagnosis of epilepsy in ideal and real-life situations. The results on the benchmark (CHB-MIT) dataset and the dataset collected by the authors show the relevance of the proposed approach over the baseline deep learning techniques by achieving an accuracy of 99.8%, classification accuracy of 99.7%, sensitivity of 99.8%, specificity and precision of 99.9% and F1 score of 99.6%. Our approach can contribute to the accurate and optimized detection of seizures while scaling the design rules and increasing performance without changing the network's depth.

Abstract
Objective.Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders and can have a devastating effect on a person's quality of life. As such, the search for markers which indicate an upcoming seizure is a critically important area of research which would allow either on-demand treatment or early warning for people suffering with these disorders. There is a growing body of work which uses machine learning methods to detect pre-seizure biomarkers from electroencephalography (EEG), however the high prediction rates published do not translate into the clinical setting. Our objective is to investigate a potential reason for this.Approach.We conduct an empirical study of a commonly used data labelling method for EEG seizure prediction which relies on labelling small windows of EEG data in temporal groups then selecting randomly from those windows to validate results. We investigate a confound for this approach for seizure prediction and demonstrate the ease at which it can be inadvertently learned by a machine learning system.Main results.We find that non-seizure signals can create decision surfaces for machine learning approaches which can result in false high prediction accuracy on validation datasets. We prove this by training an artificial neural network to learn fake seizures (fully decoupled from biology) in real EEG.Significance.The significance of our findings is that many existing works may be reporting results based on this confound and that future work should adhere to stricter requirements in mitigating this confound. The problematic, but commonly accepted approach in the literature for seizure prediction labelling is potentially preventing real advances in developing solutions for these sufferers. By adhering to the guidelines in this paper future work in machine learning seizure prediction is more likely to be clinically relevant.

Abstract
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a complicated, non-stationary signal that requires extensive preprocessing and feature extraction approaches to be accurately analyzed. In recent times, Deep learning (DL) has shown great promise in exploiting the characteristics of EEG signals as it can learn relevant features from raw data autonomously. Although studies involving DL have become more common in the last two years, the topic of whether DL truly delivers advantages over conventional Machine learning (ML) methodologies remains unsettled. This study aims to present a detailed overview of the main challenges in the field of seizure detection, prediction, and classification utilizing EEG data, and the approaches taken to solve them using ML and DL methods. A systematic review was conducted surveying peer-reviewed publications published between 2017 and 16 July 2022 using two scientific databases (Web of Science and Scopus) totaling 6822 references after discarding duplicate publications. Whereas 2262 articles were screened based on the title, abstract, and keywords, only 214 were eligible for full-text assessment. A total of 91 papers have been included in this survey after meeting the eligible inclusion and exclusion criteria. The most significant findings from the review are summarized, and several important concepts involving ML and DL for seizure detection, prediction, and classification are discussed in further depth. This review aims to learn more about the different approaches for identifying different types and stages of epileptic seizures, which may then be employed to enhance the lives of epileptic patients in the future, as well as aid experts in the field.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder with sudden and recurrent seizures. Early prediction of seizures and effective intervention can significantly reduce the harm suffered by patients. In this paper, a method based on nonlinear features of EEG signal and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) is proposed for early prediction of epilepsy seizures. First, the EEG signals were divided into two categories: those that had seizures onset over a period of time (represented by InT) and those that did not. Second, the noise in the EEG was removed using complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) and wavelet threshold denoising. Third, the nonlinear features of the two categories of EEG were extracted, including approximate entropy, sample entropy, permutation entropy, spectral entropy and wavelet entropy. Fourth, a GBDT classifier with random forest as the initial result was designed to distinguish the two categories of EEG. Fifth, a two-step "k of n" method was used to reduce the number of false alarms. The proposed method was evaluated on 13 patients' EEG data from the CHB-MIT Scalp EEG Database. Based on ten-fold cross validation, the average accuracy was 91.76% when the InT was taken at 30 min, and 38 out of 39 seizures were successfully predicted. When the InT was taken for 40 min, the average accuracy was 92.50% and all 42 seizures selected were successfully predicted. The results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method for predicting epilepsy seizures.

Abstract
During the past two decades, epileptic seizure detection and prediction algorithms have evolved rapidly. However, despite significant performance improvements, their hardware implementation using conventional technologies, such as Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS), in power and area-constrained settings remains a challenging task; especially when many recording channels are used. In this paper, we propose a novel low-latency parallel Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture that has between 2-2,800x fewer network parameters compared to State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) CNN architectures and achieves 5-fold cross validation accuracy of 99.84% for epileptic seizure detection, and 99.01% and 97.54% for epileptic seizure prediction, when evaluated using the University of Bonn Electroencephalogram (EEG), CHB-MIT and SWEC-ETHZ seizure datasets, respectively. We subsequently implement our network onto analog crossbar arrays comprising Resistive Random-Access Memory (RRAM) devices, and provide a comprehensive benchmark by simulating, laying out, and determining hardware requirements of the CNN component of our system. We parallelize the execution of convolution layer kernels on separate analog crossbars to enable 2 orders of magnitude reduction in latency compared to SOTA hybrid Memristive-CMOS Deep Learning (DL) accelerators. Furthermore, we investigate the effects of non-idealities on our system and investigate Quantization Aware Training (QAT) to mitigate the performance degradation due to low Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)/Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) resolution. Finally, we propose a stuck weight offsetting methodology to mitigate performance degradation due to stuck [Formula: see text] memristor weights, recovering up to 32% accuracy, without requiring retraining. The CNN component of our platform is estimated to consume approximately 2.791 W of power while occupying an area of 31.255 mm2 in a 22 nm FDSOI CMOS process.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes recurrent seizures and sometimes loss of awareness. Around 30% of epileptic patients continue to have seizures despite taking anti-seizure medication. The ability to predict the future occurrence of seizures would enable the patients to take precautions against probable injuries and administer timely treatment to abort or control impending seizures. In this study, we introduce a Transformer-based approach called Multi-channel Vision Transformer (MViT) for automated and simultaneous learning of the spatio-temporal-spectral features in multi-channel EEG data. Continuous wavelet transform, a simple yet efficient pre-processing approach, is first used for turning the time-series EEG signals into image-like time-frequency representations named Scalograms. Each scalogram is split into a sequence of fixed-size non-overlapping patches, which are then fed as inputs to the MViT for EEG classification. Extensive experiments on three benchmark EEG datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed MViT algorithm over the state-of-the-art seizure prediction methods, achieving an average prediction sensitivity of 99.80% for surface EEG and 90.28-91.15% for invasive EEG data.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in which patients suffer from sudden and unpredictable seizures. Seizures are caused by excessive and abnormal neuronal activity. Different methods have been employed to investigate electroencephalogram (EEG) data in patients with epilepsy. This paper introduces a simple yet accurate array-based method to study and predict seizures. We use the CHB-MIT dataset (all 24 cases), which includes scalp EEG recordings. The proposed method is based on the random matrix theory. After applying wavelet decomposition to denoise the data, we analyze the spatial coherence of the epileptic recordings by looking at the width of the covariance matrix eigenvalue distribution at different time and frequency bins. We train patient-specific support vector machine (SVM) classifiers to distinguish between interictal and preictal data with high performance and a false prediction rate as low as 0.09/h. The proposed technique achieves an average accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, and area under the curve (AUC) of 99.05%, 93.56%, 99.09%, and 0.99, respectively. Our proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art works in terms of sensitivity while maintaining a low false prediction rate. Also, in contrast to neural networks, which may achieve high performance, this work provides high sensitivity without compromising interpretability.

Abstract
The unpredictability of epileptic seizures is one of the most problematic aspects of the field of epilepsy. Methods or devices capable of detecting seizures minutes before they occur may help prevent injury or even death and significantly improve the quality of life. Machine learning (ML) is an emerging technology that can markedly enhance algorithm performance by interpreting data. ML has gained increasing attention from medical researchers in recent years. Its epilepsy applications range from the localization of the epileptic region, predicting the medical or surgical outcome of epilepsy, and automated electroencephalography (EEG) analysis to seizure prediction. While ML has good prospects with regard to detecting epileptic seizures via EEG signals, many clinicians are still unfamiliar with this field. This work briefly summarizes the history and recent significant progress made in this field and clarifies the essential components of the automatic seizure detection system using ML methodologies for clinicians. This review also proposes how neurologists can actively contribute to ensure improvements in seizure prediction using EEG-based ML.

Front Neurosci 2021; 15:780373. [PMID: 34776860 PMCID: PMC8581206 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2021.780373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 10/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Electroencephalogram (EEG) plays an important role in brain disease diagnosis and research of brain-computer interface (BCI). However, the measurements of EEG are often exposed to strong interference of power line artifact (PLA). Digital notch filters (DNFs) can be applied to remove the PLA effectively, but it also results in severe signal distortions in the time domain. To address this problem, spectrum correction (SC) based methods can be utilized. These methods estimate harmonic parameters of the PLA such that compensation signals are produced to remove the noise. In order to ensure high accuracy during harmonic parameter estimations, a novel approach is proposed in this paper. This novel approach is based on the combination of sparse representation (SR) and SC. It can deeply mine the information of PLA in the frequency domain. Firstly, a ratio-based spectrum correction (RBSC) using rectangular window is employed to make rough estimation of the harmonic parameters of PLA. Secondly, the two spectral line closest to the estimated frequency are calculated. Thirdly, the two spectral lines with high amplitudes can be utilized as input of RBSC to make finer estimations of the harmonic parameters. Finally, a compensation signal, based on the extracted harmonic parameters, is generated to suppress PLA. Numerical simulations and actual EEG signals with PLA were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the improved approach. It is verified that this approach can effectively suppress the PLA without distorting the time-domain waveform of the EEG signal.

Abstract
In epilepsy, patients suffer from seizures which cannot be controlled with medicines or surgical treatments in more than 30% of the cases. Prediction of epileptic seizures is extremely important so that they can be controlled with medication before they actually occur. Researchers have proposed multiple machine/deep learning based methods to predict epileptic seizures; however, accurate prediction of epileptic seizures with low false positive rate is still a challenge. In this research, we propose a deep learning based ensemble learning method to predict epileptic seizures. In the proposed method, EEG signals are preprocessed using empirical mode decomposition followed by bandpass filtering for noise removal. The class imbalance problem has been mitigated with synthetic preictal segments generated using generative adversarial networks. A three-layer customized convolutional neural network has been proposed to extract automated features from preprocessed EEG signals and combined them with handcrafted features to get a comprehensive feature set. The feature set is then used to train an ensemble classifier that combines the output of SVM, CNN and LSTM using Model agnostic meta learning. An average sensitivity of 96.28% and specificity of 95.65% with an average anticipation time of 33 min on all subjects of CHBMIT has been achieved by the proposed method, whereas, on American epilepsy society-Kaggle seizure prediction dataset, an average sensitivity of 94.2% and specificity of 95.8% has been achieved on all subjects.
