In this research, I surveyed existing methods of characterizing Epilepsy from Electroencephalogram (EEG) data, including the Random Forest algorithm, which was claimed by many researchers to be the most effective at detecting epileptic seizures [7]. I observed that although many papers claimed a detection of >99% using Random Forest, it was not specified “when” the detection was declared within the 23.6 second interval of the seizure event. In this research, I created a time-series procedure to detect the seizure as early as possible within the 23.6 second epileptic seizure window and found that the detection is effective (> 92%) as early as the first few seconds of the epileptic episode. I intend to use this research as a stepping stone towards my upcoming Masters thesis research where I plan to expand the time-series detection mechanism to the pre-ictal stage, which will require a different dataset.
