Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a machine-based patient-specific seizure classification system. In general, an example system may comprise a non-linear SVM seizure classification system-on-chip (SoC) with multichannel EEG data acquisition and storage for epileptic patients is presented. The SoC may integrate a hardware-efficient log-linear Gaussian Basis Function engine, floating point piecewise linear natural log, and low-noise, high dynamic range readout circuits. In at least one example implementation, the SoC may consume 1.83W/classification while classifying 8 channel results with an average detection rate, average false alarm rate and latency of 95.1%, 0.94% and <2 s, respectively.
Claims23
A device, comprising:
- an analog front-end (AFE) to sense electroencephalography (EEG) information;
- a digital back end (DBE) including at least a feature extraction (FE) engine and a non-linear support vector machine (NL-SVM) classification engine to determine onset of a seizure based on the EEG information;
- and
- an analog-to-digital converter (A/D) stage to convert analog signals provided by the AFE for use by the DFE.
A method, comprising:
- receiving analog electroencephalography (EEG) information in a device;
- converting the analog EEG information into digital EEG information;
- extracting feature vectors (FVs) from the digital EEG information;
- and
- determining onset of a seizure based on the extracted FVs.
At least one machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon, individually or in combination, instructions that when executed by one or more processors result in the following operations comprising:
- receiving analog electroencephalography (EEG) information;
- converting the analog EEG information into digital EEG information;
- extracting feature vectors (FVs) from the digital EEG information;
- and
- determining on the onset of a seizure based on the extracted FVs.
