Epilepsy Identification using Hybrid CoPrO-DCNN Classifier

Abstract

The Electroencephalogram (EEG) stands as a burgeoning frontier in the study of neuronal activity, offering a rich tapestry of information crucial for identifying abnormalities and addressing cognitive disorders and irregularities. This paper delves into the examination of EEG from subjects exhibiting abnormalities, contrasting them with those from normal subjects. Various topographical features such as Mean, Entropy, and Wavelet bands are meticulously evaluated and compared.Inspired by the adaptive hunting strategies observed in coyotes, this study introduces a novel hybrid computational model that integrates deep learning architectures, aiming to amplify diagnostic accuracy. The methodology hinges upon the development of a unique computational algorithm inspired by the intricate hunting behaviors of coyotes, seamlessly fused with the potent data-driven capabilities of deep neural networks. This hybrid model is meticulously applied to scrutinize EEG data for the detection of brain disorders, capitalizing on both the biologically-inspired algorithm and the data-centric strengths of deep learning. The results obtained from this innovative approach are highly promising. The proposed scheme exhibits a remarkable diagnostic accuracy, achieving an impressive rate of 98.65 per for training (True Positive - TP) and 98.82 per utilizing k-fold validation. These preliminary findings underscore the potential efficacy of the hybrid methodology in accurately discerning brain disorders from EEG signals. However, it is essential to acknowledge that these results represent an initial success and form just a fragment of the extensive evaluation process.This study marks a significant stride towards leveraging interdisciplinary insights, blending principles from ethology with advanced computational techniques to tackle complex neurological challenges. By harnessing the sophisticated strategies observed in nature alongside cutting-edge technological advancements, this research endeavors to carve a path towards more nuanced and precise diagnostic tools for understanding and addressing brain disorders. Further exploration and refinement of this hybrid model hold promise for revolutionizing the landscape of neurodiagnostics, offering hope for more effective interventions and treatments in the realm of cognitive health.
