Epilepsy is the most diffuse brain disorder that can affect people's lives even on its early stage. In this paper, we used for the first time the spiking neural networks (SNN) framework called NeuCube for the analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) data recorded from a person affected by Absence Epileptic (AE), using permutation entropy (PE) features. Our results demonstrated that the methodology constitutes a valuable tool for the analysis and understanding of functional changes in the brain in term of its spiking activity and connectivity. Future applications of the model aim at personalised modelling of epileptic data for the analysis and the event prediction. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract

Epilepsy is the most diffuse brain disorder that can affect people's lives even on its early stage. In this paper, we used for the first time the spiking neural networks (SNN) framework called NeuCube for the analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) data recorded from a person affected by Absence Epileptic (AE), using permutation entropy (PE) features. Our results demonstrated that the methodology constitutes a valuable tool for the analysis and understanding of functional changes in the brain in term of its spiking activity and connectivity. Future applications of the model aim at personalised modelling of epileptic data for the analysis and the event prediction. © 2015 IEEE.
