Multifractal analysis for cumulant-based epileptic seizure detection in eeg time series
Résumé
Multifractal analysis allows us to study scale invariance and fluctuations of the pointwise regularity of time series. A theoretically well grounded multifractal formalism, based on wavelet leaders, was applied to electroencephalogra-phy (EEG) time series measured in healthy volunteers and epilepsy patients, provided by the University of Bonn. We show that the multifractal spectrum during a seizure indicates a lower global regularity when compared to non-seizure data and that multifractal features, combined with few baseline features, can be used to train a supervised learning algorithm to discriminate well above chance ictal (i.e. seizure) versus healthy and interictal epochs (97 %) and healthy controls versus patients (92 %).
