Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Epilepsy is common disorder of the brain that affects the cerebral cortex. EEG is one of the main tools for diagnosis neuron activities and brain disorders. EEG signals store important information that is useful for diagnosis neural diseases. In this work, implementation of epilepsy classifier using neural network was employed. Identification of three classes EEG signals: seizure free, pre-seizure and seizure was considered in this research, where seizure free and pre-seizure signals are difficult to identify. For comparison classification with SVM (Support method machine), KNN (K-nearest neighbour) and linear classifier has been done. Data under different noise level were tested and robustness of the classifiers checked. Best accuracy 100% and average accuracy 71% achieved in recognition three classes during the testing. Testing result shows that proposed method can be used for better classification of seizure free, pre-seizure and seizure period epilepsy.
