A personalized and evolutionary algorithm for interpretable EEG epilepsy seizure prediction

Abstract Seizure prediction may improve the quality of life of patients suffering from drug-resistant epilepsy, which accounts for about 30% of the total epileptic patients. The pre-ictal period determination, characterized by a transitional stage between normal brain activity and seizure, is a crit...
