title: An ultra low power feature extraction and classification system for wearable seizure detection.
abstract: In this paper we explore the use of a variety of machine learning algorithms for designing a reliable and low-power, multi-channel EEG feature extractor and classifier for predicting seizures from electroencephalographic data (scalp EEG). Different machine learning classifiers including k-nearest neighbor, support vector machines, naïve Bayes, logistic regression, and neural networks are explored with the goal of maximizing detection accuracy while minimizing power, area, and latency. The input to each machine learning classifier is a 198 feature vector containing 9 features for each of the 22 EEG channels obtained over 1-second windows. All classifiers were able to obtain F1 scores over 80% and onset sensitivity of 100% when tested on 10 patients. Among five different classifiers that were explored, logistic regression (LR) proved to have minimum hardware complexity while providing average F-1 score of 91%. Both ASIC and FPGA implementations of logistic regression are presented and show the smallest area, power consumption, and the lowest latency when compared to the previous work.
