  • Epileptic seizures are known for their unpredictable nature. However, recent research provides that the transition to seizure event is not random but the result of evidence accumulations. Therefore, a reliable method capable to detect these indications can predict seizures and improve the life quality of epileptic patients. Seizures periods are generally characterized by epileptiform discharges with different changes including spike rate variation according to the shapes, spikes, and the amplitude. In this study, spike rate is used as the indicator to anticipate seizures in electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. Spikes detection step is used in EEG signal during interictal, preictal, and ictal periods followed by a mean filter to smooth the spike number. The maximum spike rate in interictal periods is used as an indicator to predict seizures. When the spike number in the preictal period exceeds the threshold, an alarm is triggered. Using the CHB-MIT database, the proposed approach has ensured 92% accuracy in seizure prediction for all patients.
  • Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder of the brain that affects people worldwide from newborn to adult. It is characterized by recurrent seizures, which are brief episodes of signs or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a physiological method to measure and record the electrical activities generated by the brain from electrodes placed on the surface of the scalp. EEG has become the most used signal for detecting and predicting epileptic seizures. Machine learning for EEG signal processing constitute an important area of artificial intelligence dealing with the setting up of automated computer-aided systems allowing to help the medical staff, e.g. neurophysiologists, for detecting and predicting epileptic seizure activities from EEG signals. It offers solutions to difficult biomedical engineering problems related to detecting and predicting EEG epileptic seizures.

    The main goal of this special issue is to solicit original contributions with focus on recent advances in EEG signal processing and machine learning for seizures detection and prediction. This special issue selected 9 excellent papers from 20 papers received from a general call. The following paragraphs summarize the published papers.
