title: Novel feature extraction method based on weight difference of weighted network for epileptic seizure detection.
abstract: The extraction method of classification feature is primary and core problem in all epileptic EEG detection algorithms, since it can seriously affect the performance of the detection algorithm. In this paper, a novel epileptic EEG feature extraction method based on the statistical parameter of weighted complex network is proposed. The EEG signal is first transformed into weighted network and the weight differences of all the nodes in the network are analyzed. Then the sum of top quintile weight differences is extracted as the classification feature. At last, the extracted feature is applied to classify the epileptic EEG dataset. Experimental results show that the single feature classification based on the extracted feature obtains higher classification accuracy up to 94.75%, which indicates that the extracted feature can distinguish the ictal EEG from interictal EEG and has great potentiality of real-time epileptic seizures detection.
