Zusammenfassung:The detection of epileptic seizures is key for neurologists to initiate the right treatment at the earliest. However, the traditional methods are dependent on manual diagnosis which are error-prone. Hence, the current article presents an automated machine learning-based approach with competing results to detect seizures and its types using traditional features. Towards this goal, the present paper explores the performance of two fractal parameters namely Higuchi and, Kat’z fractal dimension, along with power spectral density and spectral entropy to detect EEG signals with seizure and non-seizure characteristics. To validate the performance via cross-validation technique, the features are extracted and experimented from three publically available databases such as Bern-Barcelona (focal, non-focal), Khas (preictal, interictal, ictal), and Bonn. Thereafter evaluated with different machine learning algorithms like Random Forest classifier, Ada Boost classifier, Gradient Boosting classifier, Extra Tree classifier, SVM classifier, and Naive Bayes classifier. The experiments showed 100% F1 score and accuracy in classifying focal and non-focal signals for random forest and extra tree classifier methods. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper reporting this score for the Bern-Barcelona dataset. The same features are also experimented for the detection of interictal, ictal and preictal scenarios. In the process, 100% accuracy is obtained in classifying interictal and ictal EEG signals, and an accuracy of 94% is attained in classifying interictal-preictal signals. This score is 14% higher than the current state-of-the-art methods using the same database. The features are also used in the Bonn database, where the proposed approach gave an accuracy of 100% same as the state-of-the-art methods. •Obtained competing evaluation score relative to SOTA methods using ML methods.•Competing score reported for interictal-preictal based classification of EEG data.•EEG classification is performed in the sensing time domain itself.•The proposed approach is validated using three benchmark datasets.•The performance is evaluated using cross-validation technique.
