Epileptic seizure detection using the singular values of EEG signals

A new technique based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) for the detection of epileptic seizures is proposed. The SVD is applied sequentially on a sliding window of one second width of EEG data and the r singular values are obtained and used to indicate sudden changes in the signals. EEG recordin...

Description
Summary:A new technique based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) for the detection of epileptic seizures is proposed. The SVD is applied sequentially on a sliding window of one second width of EEG data and the r singular values are obtained and used to indicate sudden changes in the signals. EEG recordings of 4-paediatric patients with 20 seizures are used to validate the proposed algorithm and the preliminary results indicates good level of sensitivity by the singular values to the changes in the EEG signals due to epileptic seizure. This sensitivity can be used to develop more reliable seizure detector than the existing techniques.
