Abstract

The term Epilepsy refers to a most commonly occurring brain disorder after a migraine. Early identification of incoming seizures significantly impacts the lives of people with Epilepsy. Automated detection of epileptic seizures (ES) has dramatically improved the life quality of the patients. Recent Electroencephalogram (EEG) related seizure detection mechanisms encountered several difficulties in real-time. The EEGs are the non-stationary signal, and seizure patterns would change with patients and recording sessions. Further, EEG data were disposed to wide noise varieties that adversely moved the recognition accuracy of ESs. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods in the domain of ES analysis use traditional deep learning (DL), and machine learning (ML) approaches. This article introduces an Oppositional Aquila Optimizer-based Feature Selection with Deep Belief Network for Epileptic Seizure Detection (OAOFS-DBNECD) technique using EEG signals. The primary aim of the presented OAOFS-DBNECD system is to categorize and classify the presence of ESs. The suggested OAOFS-DBNECD technique transforms the EEG signals into .csv format at the initial stage. Next, the OAOFS technique selects an optimal subset of features using the pre-processed data. For seizure classification, the presented OAOFS-DBNECD technique applies Artificial Ecosystem Optimizer (AEO) with a deep belief network (DBN) model. An extensive range of simulations was performed on the benchmark dataset to ensure the enhanced performance of the presented OAOFS-DBNECD algorithm. The comparison study shows the significant outcomes of the OAOFS-DBNECD approach over other methodologies. In addition, the result of the suggested approach has been evaluated using the CHB-MIT database, and the findings demonstrate accuracy of 97.81%. These findings confirmed the best seizure categorization accuracy on the EEG data considered.
