    Keywords : EEG; electroencephalography; IED; interictal epileptiform discharges; spike detection; epilepsy; unsupervised; Fourier transform; STFT; short-time Fourier transform; CWT; continuous wavelet transform; DWT; discrete wavelet transform; ML; machine learning; ANN; artificial neural network; CNN; convolutional neural network; autoencoder; HMM; hidden Markov model; ECS; Euclidean distance of cumulative spectrum;

    Abstract : Epilepsy affects more than 50 million people and is one of the most prevalent neurological disorders and has a high impact on the quality of life of those suffering from it. However, 70% of epilepsy patients can live seizure free with proper diagnosis and treatment. Patients are evaluated using scalp EEG recordings which is cheap and non-invasive. READ MORE

  3. 2. Digital Signal Characterization for Seizure Detection Using Frequency Domain Analysis

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Keywords : Fourier Transform; Wavelet Transform; EEG and ECG Anomaly Detection; Approximate Entropy; Hellinger Distance; Long Short- Term Memory; Fourier Transform; Wavelet Transform; EEG och ECG Anomalidetektion; Approximativ Entropi; Hellinger Distans; Lång Korttidsminne;

    Abstract : Nowadays, a significant proportion of the population in the world is affected by cerebral diseases like epilepsy. In this study, frequency domain features of electroencephalography (EEG) signals were studied and analyzed, with a view being able to detect epileptic seizures more easily. READ MORE

  4. 3. Stress and Seizures : Behavioural Stress-Reduction Interventions’ Efficiency in Lowering Seizure Frequency

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Mathias Larsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Epilepsy; epileptics; people with epilepsy; PWE; stress-reduction; stress-control; stress-regulation; stress management; seizure frequency; seizure reduction; systematic review;

    Abstract : Epilepsy is the most common, chronic, serious neurological disease in the world, with an estimated 65 million people affected worldwide. Recent studies on people diagnosed with epilepsy suggest that stress might trigger epileptic seizures. READ MORE

  5. 4. Regulating synaptic protein expression by in vivo antibody treatment to reduce epileptogenesis phase in rats

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Vedran Matinjanin; [2017]
    Keywords : Epilepsy epileptogenesis antibody treatment synaptic proteins rat; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by its debilitating epileptic seizures. There are generalized seizures, which affect the whole brain at once, and focal seizures, which start from one part of the brain. The most common focal epilepsy, is temporal lobe epilepsy representing almost 70% of all focal epilepsies. READ MORE
