摘要

Epilepsy is a neurological illness that presents considerable obstacles for individuals due to the unpredictable nature of seizures, which can occur at any time, including while sleeping. Because of its unpredictable nature, there is a higher chance of injury, disturbed sleep, and in extreme situations, sudden unexplained death from epilepsy (SUDEP). Therefore, reducing these risks and enhancing the quality of life for those with epilepsy depends on early seizure onset diagnosis. This study investigates several machine learning strategies targeted at the early identification of seizure start and looks at ways to stop seizures in people with epilepsy. Analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) data from people with epilepsy diagnoses is the main goal of this research project. In order to recognize patterns that point to imminent seizures, we have created sophisticated machine learning algorithms. By using labeled EEG data from patients, these algorithms are trained to recognize and understand distinguishing characteristics linked to pre-seizure states. Our research demonstrates the potential of machine learning methods to improve seizure detection early on, potentially improving patient outcomes.
