Application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for epileptic seizure detection using wavelet feature extraction.
Intelligent computing tools such as artificial neural network (ANN) and fuzzy logic approaches are demonstrated to be competent when applied individually to a variety of problems. Recently, there has been a growing interest in combining both these approaches, and as a result, neuro-fuzzy computing techniques have been evolved. In this study, a new approach based on an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was presented for epileptic seizure detection. The proposed ANFIS model combined the neural network adaptive capabilities and the fuzzy logic qualitative approach. Decision making was performed in two stages: feature extraction using the wavelet transform (WT) and the ANFIS trained with the backpropagation gradient descent method in combination with the least squares method. Some conclusions concerning the impacts of features on the detection of epileptic seizures were obtained through analysis of the ANFIS. The results are highly promising, and a comparative analysis suggests that the proposed modeling approach outperforms ANN model in terms of training performances and classification accuracies. The results confirmed that the proposed ANFIS model has some potential in epileptic seizure detection. The ANFIS model achieved accuracy rates which were higher than that of the stand-alone neural network model.
