Abstract

We propose a method for detecting seizure origin in epileptic electroencephalographic (EEG) data based on a novel multi-scale topological technique called persistent homology (PH). Among several PH descriptors, persistence landscape (PL) possesses many desirable properties for rigorous statistical inference. By building PLs on EEG epilepsy signals smoothed by a weighted Fourier series (WFS) expansion, we compared the before and during phases of a seizure attack in a patient diagnosed with left temporal epilepsy and successfully identified site T3 as the origin of the seizure attack.
