Detecting abnormal pattern of epileptic seizures via temporal synchronization of EEG signals
Objective: Synchronization phenomena of epileptic electroencephalography (EEG) have
long been studied. In this study, we aim at investigating the spatial-temporal synchronization
pattern in epileptic human brains using the spectral graph theoretic features extracted from
scalp EEG and developing an efficient multivariate approach for detecting seizure onsets in
real time. Methods: A complex network model is used for representing the recurrence pattern
of EEG signals, based on which the temporal synchronization patterns are quantified using …

Objective
Synchronization phenomena of epileptic electroencephalography (EEG) have long been studied. In this study, we aim at investigating the spatial-temporal synchronization pattern in epileptic human brains using the spectral graph theoretic features extracted from scalp EEG and developing an efficient multivariate approach for detecting seizure onsets in real time.
Methods
A complex network model is used for representing the recurrence pattern of EEG signals, based on which the temporal synchronization patterns are quantified using the spectral graph theoretic features. Furthermore, a statistical control chart is applied to the extracted features overtime for monitoring the transits from normal to epileptic states in multivariate EEG systems.
Results
Our method is tested on 23 patients from CHB-MIT Scalp EEG database. The results show that the graph theoretic feature yields a high sensitivity (~98%) and low latency (~6 s) on average, and seizure onsets in 18 patients are 100% detected.
Conclusion
Our approach validates the increased temporal synchronization in epileptic EEG and achieves a comparable detection performance to previous studies.
Significance
We characterize the temporal synchronization patterns of epileptic EEG using spectral network metrics. In addition, we found significant changes in temporal synchronization in epileptic EEG, which enable a patient-specific approach for real-time seizure detection for personalized diagnosis and treatment.
