Brain Epileptic Seizure Detection Using Joint CNN and Exhaustive Feature Selection With RNN-BLSTM Classifier

Brain Epilepsy seizure is a critical disorder, which is an uncontrolled burst of electrical activity of brain. The early detection of brain seizure can save the life of humans. The electroencephalogram (EEG) signals may be used to automatically identify brain seizures, which is one of the most prominent solutions for this issue. However, the conventional methods are failed to classify the brain seizure effectively. So, this work implemented the Brain Epilepsy Seizure-Detection-Network (BESD-Net) using deep learning, recurrent learning properties. Initially, the dataset pre-processing is performed, which eliminates the noise, unwanted data from EEG dataset. Then, the deep learning based customized convolution neural network (CCNN) is trained on the pre-processed EEG data for precise extraction of disease correlated features. The machine learning based exhaustive random forest (ERF) feature selection is used to optimize the features obtained from the CCNN, which are highly correlated with disease dependent properties. In conclusion, the recurrent neural network (RNN) based bi-directional long short-term memory (BLSTM) is used in order to detect brain seizures from the chosen ERF features. Training and testing of suggested methodology had made use of CHB-MIT Scalp EEG Database. The aforementioned model has achieved the values of 98.36%, 97.54%, 97.91%, 98% and 95.08% respectively for precision, sensitivity, F1-Score, accuracy and specificity. The findings of the simulations demonstrate that the suggested BESD-Net led to superior performance when compared to the technologies that are already in use.
