Fuzzy rule-based seizure prediction based on correlation dimension changes in intracranial EEG.

In this paper, we present a method for epileptic seizure prediction from intracranial EEG recordings. We applied correlation dimension, a nonlinear dynamics based univariate characteristic measure for extracting features from EEG segments. Finally, we designed a fuzzy rule-based system for seizure prediction. The system is primarily designed based on expert's knowledge and reasoning. A spatial-temporal filtering method was used in accordance with the fuzzy rule-based inference system for issuing forecasting alarms. The system was evaluated on EEG data from 10 patients having 15 seizures.
