Epileptic seizure classification using fuzzy lattices and Neural Reinforcement Learning

This work uses Fuzzy Lattices and Neural Reinforcement Learning techniques for seizure classification. EEG database of Bonn University and CHB-MIT has been used for the evaluation of the proposed method. Here, features are represented in the form of fuzzy lattices, and feature vectors are created in the form of Kinetic Energy (K.E.) using Schrodinger equation. Then, the highest K.E.-based seven fuzzy lattices have been used for classification using Neural Reinforcement Learning classifier. Neural Reinforcement Learning classifier is a self-learner method that classifies different seizure sub-classes (healthy eyes open, healthy eye closed, Epileptogenic Zone, hippocampal formation of opposite hemisphere, epileptic seizure). The effectiveness of the proposed method has been tested on two different public datasets. The average classification accuracy achieved is 97.6% and 97.5% for Bonn and CHB-MIT datasets, respectively. Results are compared with existing techniques to show the precedence of proposed approach. Also, computation speed of proposed classifier is more than 1.5 times compared to Fuzzy Q Learning classifier. The objective is to develop a hybrid model integrating fuzzy lattices and neural reinforcement learning (adaptive methods) for accurate classification, aiming to enhance and speeding up seizure detection and diagnosis to improve patient care through advanced computational techniques.
