Localization of Epileptic Foci by Using Convolutional Neural Network Based on iEEG
Abstract
Epileptic focus localization is a critical factor for successful surgical therapy of resection of epileptogenic tissues. The key challenging problem of focus localization lies in the accurate classification of focal and non-focal intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG). In this paper, we introduce a new method based on short time Fourier transform (STFT) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) to improve the classification accuracy. More specifically, STFT is employed to obtain the time-frequency spectrograms of iEEG signals, from which CNN is applied to extract features and perform classification. The time-frequency spectrograms are normalized with Z-score normalization before putting into this network. Experimental results show that our method is able to differentiate the focal from non-focal iEEG signals with an average classification accuracy of 91.8%.
