EEG seizure detection and epilepsy diagnosis using a novel variation of Empirical Mode Decomposition
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Epileptic seizure detection and epilepsy diagnosis based on feature extraction and classification using electroencephalography (EEG) signals is an important area of research. In this paper, we present a simple and effective approach based on signal decomposition, using a novel variation of the Empirical Mode Decomposition called Empirical Mode Decomposition-Modified Peak Selection (EMD-MPS). EMD-MPS allows time-scale based de-trending of signals, allowing signals to be separated directly into a de-trended component, and a trend, according to a frequency separation criterion. Features are extracted from the decomposed components, and a simple classifier, namely the 1-NN classifier is used for three classification tasks. The technique is tested on a publicly available EEG database, and a classification accuracy of 99% for epilepsy diagnosis task, and 100% and 98.2% for two seizure detection tasks is obtained. These results are better than, or comparable to previous results using the same EEG database, but have been obtained with a simpler and computationally fast signal analysis and classification method.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
