Abstract:
In this paper, a new method combining wavelet packet transform and multivariate multiscale entropy for the classification of epilepsy EEG signals is introduced. Firstly, the original EEG signals are decomposed at multi-scales with the wavelet packet transform, and the wavelet packet coefficients of the required frequency bands are extracted. Secondly, the wavelet packet coefficients are processed with multivariate multiscale entropy algorithm. Finally, the EEG data are classified by support vector machines (SVM). The experimental results on the international public Bonn epilepsy EEG dataset show that the proposed method can efficiently extract epileptic features and the accuracy of classification result is satisfactory.
