Topological Inference for Seizure Lateralization
摘要
Topological inference based on heat kernel estimation, persistent homology, and permutation testing has shown promise in tackling various modeling challenges associated with electroencephalography (EEG) from individuals with brain network disorders. In this paper, we propose a new heat kernel estimation/smoothing method of EEG signals through Chebyshev polynomials and a fast topological permutation test to compare persistent features of two groups of smoothed signals extracted through persistent homology. We also investigate the potential of the topological inference framework in a seizure lateralization problem.
