Automated Recognition and Diagnosis of Epilepsy Using EEG

Data sharing and cooperation

We have some long term scalp EEG data for sharing. Once I got more papers published, I will put them on the web for downloading.

At present, I am looking for some cooperation with guys working on epilepsy EEG signal analysis. Data (epilepsy, scalp interictal or interictal-ictal EEGs, with confirmed seizure focus localization information) are what I need right now. If you have sampled a lot of EEG data and are willing to cooperate with me on this or relevant research, please feel free to drop me a line. We can work on something and publish papers together.

Introduction

On electrical engineering side, I work on biomedical engineering, or more precisely, the application of Artificial Intelligence in medical diagnosis. I focus on epilepsy diagnosis, prediction and medical system integration. I plan to build a system that integrates the sampling, transmission and analysis to epilepsy EEG, like below.

I am not sure when I can have the ability and resource to build such a system, maybe when I become a professor(?)

News and Publications

Jun. 1, 2009: One paper got accepted by IEEE EMBC'09: Forrest S. Baoet al., Automated Epilepsy Diagnosis Using Interictal Scalp EEG, 31st Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, Sept. 2-6, 2009, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

August, 2008:One paper just got accepted: Forrest Sheng Baoet al., Automated Recognition and Diagnosis of Epilepsy Using EEG and a Probabilistic Neural Network, 20th IEEE Int'l Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI 2008), Nov. 2008, Dayton, Ohio

I will think about something regarding feature selection, such as reliefF.
