This is a Late-Breaking abstract.
Rationale: Epilepsy is a common neurologic condition characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures. These seizures are often diagnosed and quantified by electroencephalography (EEG). Given technological advances large datasets of EEG can be generated which are amenable to machine learning approaches to identification of patterns of interest, such as seizures.
Methods: We utilized a predesigned deep convolutional neural network (DCNN), GoogLeNet, constructed to classify images. Training images for ICTAL or BASELINE classification were generated through multiplexing of spectrograms, kurtosis, and entropy for two-second segments of EEG.
Results: Over 2200 hours of EEG data was scored for the presence of seizures. In comparison to visual scoring, accuracy for individual 2-second segments >95% and detection of >95% of seizures as compared to visual scoring. Multiplexed images combining spectrogram, kurtosis, and entropy are shown superior to scalograms alone. Use of a DCNN trained specifically for the individual animal was shown superior to using DCNNs across animals. Similar approaches have been utilized and our results produce equivalent results. Our method is novel in the use of a multiplexing approach in a predesigned DCNN to classify images generated from rodent EEG and identify seizures.
Conclusions: We present a novel use of a predesigned DCNN constructed to classify images, combined with images which multiplex spectral content, kurtosis, and entropy to rapidly and objectively identify seizures in a large dataset of rat EEG.
