The gold standard for the localization of epileptic activities in the cerebral cortex is intracranial electrocorticography (ECoG) electrodes placed directly on the brain surface. However, it has limitations in being able to localize deep brain epileptic sources. As a means to improve the localization of epileptic activities from these subdural electrical recordings, we developed a simple source monitoring...
In this paper, we present a method for epileptic seizure prediction from intracranial EEG recordings. We applied correlation dimension, a nonlinear dynamics based univariate characteristic measure for extracting features from EEG segments. Finally, we designed a fuzzy rule-based system for seizure prediction. The system is primarily designed based on expert's knowledge and reasoning. A spatial-temporal...
Brain state dynamics vary at different spatiotemporal scales with behavior, stimulation, and disease, and may be unobserved (latent). Using a state-space model framework and subspace identification, we estimated spatiotemporally localized, latent state changes associated with the application of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), to assess the effect of stimulation on brain state dynamics. State...
In this paper, we present a fuzzy rule-based system for the automatic detection of seizures in the intracranial EEG (IEEG) recordings. A total of 302.7 hours of the IEEG with 78 seizures, recorded from 21 patients aged between 10 and 47 years were used for the evaluation of the system. After preprocessing, temporal, spectral, and complexity features were extracted from the segmented IEEGs. The results...
This paper assesses the use of independent component analysis (ICA) as applied to epileptic scalp electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings. In particular we address the newly introduced spatio-temporal ICA algorithm (ST-ICA), which uses both spatial and temporal information derived from multi-channel biomedical signal recordings to inform (or update) the standard ICA algorithm. ICA is a technique...
Mental state estimation is potentially useful for the development of asynchronous brain-computer interfaces. In this study, four mental states have been identified and decoded from the electrocorticograms (ECoGs) of six epileptic patients, engaged in a memory reach task. A novel signal analysis technique has been applied to high-dimensional, statistically sparse ECoGs recorded by a large number of...
The exact spatio-temporal changes leading to epileptic seizures, although widely studied, are not well understood yet. We propose to investigate the mechanisms leading to epileptic seizures by using a self-organising map (SOM) based similarity index (SI) measure. While it is shown that this measure is statistically as accurate as the original SI measure, it is also computationally faster and therefore...
