Zusammenfassung:Epilepsy is a prevalent brain disease, which is quite difficult-to-treat or cure. This study developed a novel automatic seizure detection method based on the persistent homology method. In this study, a Vietoris-Rips (VR) complex filtration model was constructed based on the EEG data. And the persistent homology method was applied to calculate the VR complex filtration barcodes to describe the topological changes of EEG recordings. Afterward, the barcodes as the topological characteristics of EEG signals were fed into the GoogLeNet for classification. The persistent homology is applicable for multi-channel EEG data analysis, where the global topological information is calculated and the features are extracted by considering the multi-channel EEG data as a whole, without the multiple calculations or the post-stitching. Three databases were used to evaluate the proposed approach and the results showed that the approach had high performances in the epilepsy detection. The results obtained from the CHB-MIT Database recordings revealed that the proposed approach can achieve a segment-based averaged accuracy, sensitivity and specificity values of 97.05%, 96.71% and 97.38%, and achieve an event-based averaged sensitivity value of 100% with 1.22 s average detection latency. In addition, on the Siena Scalp Database, the proposed method yields averaged accuracy, sensitivity and specificity values of 96.42%, 95.23% and 97.6%. Multiple tasks of the Bonn Database also showed achieved accuracy of 99.55%, 98.63%, 98.28% and 97.68%, respectively. The experimental results on these three EEG databases illustrate the efficiency and robustness of our approach for automatic detection of epileptic seizure.
