Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Despite advances, analysis and interpretation of EEG still essentially rely on visual inspection by a super-specialized physician. Considering the vast amount of data that composes the EEG, much of the detail inevitably escapes ordinary human scrutiny. Significant information may not be evident and is missed, and misinterpretation remains a serious problem. Can we develop an artificial intelligence system to accurately and efficiently classify EEG and even reveal novel information? In this study, deep learning techniques and, in particular, Convolutional Neural Networks, have been used to develop a model (which we have named eDeeplepsy) for distinguishing different brain states in children with epilepsy.
