An overview of deep learning techniques for epileptic seizures detection and prediction based on neuroimaging modalities: Methods, challenges, and future works

Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain denoted by frequent seizures. The symptoms of seizure include confusion, abnormal staring, and rapid, sudden, and uncontrollable hand movements. Epileptic seizure detection methods involve neurological exams, blood tests, neuropsychological tests, and neuroimaging modalities. Among these, neuroimaging modalities have received considerable attention from specialist physicians. One method to facilitate the accurate and fast diagnosis of epileptic seizures is to employ computer-aided diagnosis systems (CADS) based on deep learning (DL) and neuroimaging modalities. This paper has studied a comprehensive overview of DL methods employed for epileptic seizures detection and prediction using neuroimaging modalities. First, DLbased CADS for epileptic seizures detection and prediction using neuroimaging modalities are discussed. Also, descriptions of various datasets, preprocessing algorithms, and DL models which have been used for epileptic seizures detection and prediction have been included. Then, research on rehabilitation tools has been presented, which contains brain-computer interface (BCI), cloud computing, internet of things (IoT), hardware implementation of DL techniques on field-programmable gate array (FPGA), etc. In the discussion section, a comparison has been carried out between research on epileptic seizure detection and prediction. The challenges in epileptic seizures detection and prediction using neuroimaging modalities and DL models have been described. In addition, possible directions for future works in this field, specifically for solving challenges in datasets, DL, rehabilitation, and hardware models, have been proposed. The final section is dedicated to the conclusion which summarizes the significant findings of the paper

An EEG Signal Recognition Algorithm During Epileptic Seizure Based on Distributed Edge Computing

Epilepsy is one kind of brain diseases, and its sudden unpredictability is the main cause of disability and even death. Thus, it is of great significance to identify electroencephalogram (EEG) during the seizure quickly and accurately. With the rise of cloud computing and edge computing, the interface between local detection and cloud recognition is established, which promotes the development of portable EEG detection and diagnosis. Thus, we construct a framework for identifying EEG signals in epileptic seizure based on cloud-edge computing. The EEG signals are obtained in real time locally, and the horizontal viewable model is established at the edge to enhance the internal correlation of the signals. The Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy system is established to analyze the epileptic signals. In the cloud, the fusion of clinical features and signal features is established to establish a deep learning framework. Through local signal acquisition, edge signal processing and cloud signal recognition, the diagnosis of epilepsy is realized, which can provide a new idea for the real-time diagnosis and feedback of EEG during epileptic seizure

An Overview on Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Diagnosis of Schizophrenia Based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Modalities: Methods, Challenges, and Future Works

Schizophrenia (SZ) is a mental disorder that typically emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood. It reduces the life expectancy of patients by 15 years. Abnormal behavior, perception of emotions, social relationships, and reality perception are among its most significant symptoms. Past studies have revealed the temporal and anterior lobes of hippocampus regions of brain get affected by SZ. Also, increased volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and decreased volume of white and gray matter can be observed due to this disease. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the popular neuroimaging technique used to explore structural/functional brain abnormalities in SZ disorder owing to its high spatial resolution. Various artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been employed with advanced image/signal processing methods to obtain accurate diagnosis of SZ. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of studies conducted on automated diagnosis of SZ using MRI modalities. Main findings, various challenges, and future works in developing the automated SZ detection are described in this paper

Seizure Detection Using Deep Learning, Information Theoretic Measures and Factor Graphs

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder that disrupts normal electrical activity in the brain causing severe impact on patients’ daily lives. Accurate seizure detection based on long-term time-series electroencephalogram (EEG) signals has gained vital importance for epileptic seizure diagnosis. However, visual analysis of these recordings is a time-consuming task for neurologists. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to propose an automatic hybrid model-based /data-driven algorithm that exploits inter-channel and temporal correlations. Hence, we use mutual information (MI) estimator to compute correlation between EEG channels as spatial features and employ a carefully designed 1D convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract additional information from raw EEGs. Then, seizure probabilities from combined features of MI estimator and CNN are applied to factor graphs to learn factor nodes. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated through measuring different parameters as well as comparing with previous studies. On CHB-MIT dataset, our generalized algorithm achieves state-of-the-art performance
