Application of Bhattacharyya distance as a dissimilarity index for automated prediction of epileptic seizures in rats
, Article 2010 International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems, ICIAS 2010, 15 June 2010 through 17 June 2010 ; 2010 ; 9781424466238 (ISBN) ; Vosoughi Vahdat, B ; Shamsollahi, M. B ; Sayyah, M ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Seizures are defined as manifest of excessive and hypersynchronous activity of neurons in the cerebral cortex and represent a frequent malfunction of the human central nervous system. Therefore, the search for precursors and predictors of a seizure is of utmost clinical relevance and may even guide us to a deep understanding of the seizure generating mechanisms. In this study we analyzed invasive electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings in rats with experimentally induced generalized epilepsy with a nonlinear method called, dissimilarity index. In order to predict epileptic seizures automatically, Bhattacharyya distance between trajectory matrix of reference window, during an interval quite...

Abstract
Epilepsy is one of the most significant neurological disorders that about one percent of people suffer from it. Epilepsy can only be controlled, and so far no cure for it has been provided. Despite the many advances in the treatment of diseases, for a quarter of patients there is no medical treatment solution for controlling epileptic seizures. In the studies of medical groups on the epilepsy, one approach is employment of some models for each type of epilepsy. These types may be created in the animals to allow studying of the mechanism of epilepsy and also finding drugs of treatment or controlling seizures for each type of epilepsy. There is a type of epilepsy that is called absence...

Abstract
Objective: Epileptic seizure detection is a key step for epilepsy assessment. In this work, using the pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) model, seizures were induced in rats, and ECoG signals in interictal, preictal, ictal, and postictal periods were recorded. The recorded ECoG signals were then analyzed to detect epileptic seizures in the epileptic rats. Methods: Two different approaches were considered in this work: thresholding and classification. In the thresholding approach, a feature is calculated in consecutive windows, and the resulted index is tracked over time and compared with a threshold. The moment the index crosses the threshold is considered as the moment of seizure onset. In the...
