Method of automated epileptiform seizures and sleep spindles detection in the wavelet spectrogram of rats' EEG

Abstract

A method and algorithm for automatic detection of epileptiform seizures, sleep spindles, and other high voltage rhythmic activity were developed. They based on the analysis of the ridges of EEG wavelet-transformation. The uninformative points of the ridge are removed adaptively on the basis of power spectral density histograms analysis.
