Abstract

Epilepsy is one of the dreaded conditions that had taken billions of people under its cloud worldwide. Detecting the seizure at the correct time in an individual is something that medical practitioners focus in order to help people save their lives. Analysis of the Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal from the scalp area of the human brain can help in detecting the seizure beforehand. This paper presents a novel classification technique to classify EEG brain signals for epilepsy identification based on Discrete Wavelet Transform and Moth Flame Optimization-based Extreme Learning Machine (DM-ELM). ELM is a very popular machine learning method based on Neural Networks (NN) where the model is trained rigorously to get the minimized error rate and maximized accuracy. Here we have used several experimental evaluations to compare the performance of basic ELM and DM-ELM and it has been experimentally proved that DM-ELM outperforms basic ELM but with few time constraints.

Keywords: Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals; discrete wavelet transform (DWT); extreme learning machines (ELM); moth flame optimization (MFO).
