One instrument to record the activity of brainwave in a specific time is called Electroencephalography (EEG). EEG signal can be used to analyze the epilepsy disease. Brainwave of seizure patient has a low frequency with a tighter pattern than brainwave of normal people. We use data from Temple University Hospital Seizure Corpus (TUSZ) that represents an accurate clinical condition characterization. Based on neurologist report, several types of seizure can be found in the dataset. In this research, we classify three types of seizure, Generalized Non-Specific Seizure (GNSZ), Focal Non-Specific Seizure (FNSZ) and Tonic-Clonic Seizure (TCSZ). We added a normal EEG signal, so we have four classes to be classified using Support Vector Machine (SVM). The training dataset consists from 120 data (20 GNSZ, 50 FNSZ, 25 TCSZ and 25 Normal), while the evaluation dataset is 90 datasets (20 GNSZ, 50 FNSZ, 5 TCSZ and 15 Normal). We observe the combination of three feature extraction method, Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), Hjorth Descriptor and Independent Component Analysis (ICA). The best result obtained by combining MFCC and Hjorth descriptor that can detect seizure type with 90.25%, 97.83%, and 91.4% of average sensitivity, average specificity, and accuracy respectively.
Alzheimer’s disease is a type of brain disease that indicate with memory impairment as the early symptoms. These symptoms occur because the nerve in the brain involved in learning, thinking and memory as cognitive function have been damaged. Alzheimer is one of diseases as the leading cause of death and cannot be cured, but the proper medical treatment can delay the severity of the disease. This study proposes the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) using AlexNet architecture as a method to develop automated classification system of Alzheimer’s disease. The experiment is conducted using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) datasets to classify Non-Demented, Very Mild Demented, Mild Demented, and Moderate Demented from 664 MRI datasets. From the experiment, this study achieved 95% of accuracy. The automated Alzheimer’s disease classification can be helpful as assisting tool for medical personnel to diagnose the stage of Alzheimer’s disease so that the appropriate medical treatment can be provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
