Modeling electroencephalography waveforms with semi-supervised deep belief nets: fast classification and anomaly measurement.

ABSTRACT: Clinical electroencephalography (EEG) records vast amounts of human complex data yet is still reviewed primarily by human readers. Deep belief nets (DBNs) are a relatively new type of multi-layer neural network commonly tested on two-dimensional image data but are rarely applied to times-series data such as EEG. We apply DBNs in a semi-supervised paradigm to model EEG waveforms for classification and anomaly detection. DBN performance was comparable to standard classifiers on our EEG dataset, and classification time was found to be 1.7-103.7 times faster than the other high-performing classifiers. We demonstrate how the unsupervised step of DBN learning produces an autoencoder that can naturally be used in anomaly measurement. We compare the use of raw, unprocessed data--a rarity in automated physiological waveform analysis--with hand-chosen features and find that raw data produce comparable classification and better anomaly measurement performance. These results indicate that DBNs and raw data inputs may be more effective for online automated EEG waveform recognition than other common techniques.

Project description:Epilepsy is one of the most common brain diseases, characterized by frequent recurrent seizures or "ictal" states. A patient experiences uncontrollable muscular contractions, inducing loss of mobility and balance, which may result in injury or even death during these ictal states. Extensive investigation is vital to establish a systematic approach for predicting and informing patients about oncoming seizures ahead of time. Most methodologies developed are focused on the detection of abnormalities using mostly electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. In this regard, research has indicated that certain pre-ictal alterations in the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) can be detected in patient electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The latter could potentially provide the basis for a robust seizure prediction approach. The recently proposed ECG-based seizure warning systems utilize machine learning models to classify a patient's condition. Such approaches require the incorporation of large, diverse, and thoroughly annotated ECG datasets, limiting their application potential. In this work, we investigate anomaly detection models in a patient-specific context with low supervision requirements. Specifically, we consider One-Class SVM (OCSVM), Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD) Estimator, and Local Outlier Factor (LOF) models to quantify the novelty or abnormality of pre-ictal short-term (2-3 min) Heart Rate Variability (HRV) features of patients, trained on a reference interval considered to contain stable heart rate as the only form of supervision. Our models are evaluated against labels that were either hand-picked or automatically generated (weak labels) by a two-phase clustering procedure for samples of the "Post-Ictal Heart Rate Oscillations in Partial Epilepsy" (PIHROPE) dataset recorded by the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, achieving detection in 9 out of 10 cases, with average AUCs of over 93% across all models and warning times ranging from 6 to 30 min prior to seizure. The proposed anomaly detection and monitoring approach can potentially pave the way for early detection and warning of seizure incidents based on body sensor inputs.
