Concluding Remarks

Facts About Epilepsy

At least 2 million Americans and other 40-50 million people worldwide (about 1% of population) suffer from Epilepsy.

Epilepsy is the second most common brain disorder (after stroke)

The hallmark of epilepsy is recurrent seizures. Epileptic seizures occur when a massive group of

neurons in the cerebral cortex suddenly begin to discharge in a highly organized rhythmic pattern.

Epileptic Seizures

Seizures usually occur spontaneously, in the absence of external triggers.

Seizures cause temporary disturbances of brain functions such as motor control, responsiveness and recall which typically last from seconds to a few minutes.

Seizures may be followed by a post-ictal period of confusion or impaired sensorial that can persist for several hours.

Rationale

Based on 1995 estimates, epilepsy imposes an annual economic burden of $12.5 billion in the U.S. in associated health care costs and losses in employment, wages, and productivity.

Cost per patient ranged from $4,272 for persons with remission after initial diagnosis and treatment to $138,602 for persons with intractable and frequent seizures.

How To Fight Epilepsy Anti-Epileptic Drugs (AEDs)

Mainstay of epilepsy treatment Approximately 25 to 30% remain unresponsive

Epilepsy surgery Require long-term invasive EEG monitoring 50% of pre-surgical candidates do not undergo respective surgery

Multiple epileptogenic zones Epileptogenic zone located in functional brain tissue

Only 60% of surgery cases result in seizure free Electrical Stimulation (Vagus nerve stimulator)

Parameters (amplitude and duration of stimulation) arbitrarily adjusted As effective as one additional AED dose Side Effects

Seizure Prediction?

Vagus Nerve Stimulator

Open Problems

Is the seizure occurrence random? If not, can seizures be predicted? If yes, are there seizure pre-cursors

preceding seizures? If yes, what measurement can be used to

indicate these pre-cursors? Does normal brain activity during differ from

abnormal brain activity?

Electroencephalogram (EEG) …is a tool for evaluating the physiological state of

the brain. …offers excellent spatial and temporal resolution to

characterize rapidly changing electrical activity of brain activation

…captures voltage potentials produced by brain cells while communicating.

In an EEG, electrodes are implanted in deep brain or placed on the scalp over multiple areas of the brain to detect and record patterns of electrical activity and check for abnormalities.

Dimensionality Reduction

The brain is a non-stationary system. EEG time series is non-stationary. With 200 Hz sampling, 1 hour of EEGs is

comprised of 200*60*60*30 = 21,600,000 data points = 43.2MB(assume 16-bit ASCI format) 1 day = 1 hour*24 1 week = 1 hour*168 20 patients = 1 hour*3360

Kilobytes → Megabytes → Gigabytes → Terabytes

Dimensionality Reduction Using Chaos Theory

Chaos in Brain? Chaos in Stock Market? Chaos in Foreign Exchanges (Swedish Currency)? Measure the brain dynamics from EEG time series. Apply dynamical measures (based on chaos theory) to non-

overlapping EEG epochs of 10.24 seconds = 2048 points. Maximum Short-Term Lyapunov Exponent

measures the average uncertainty along the local eigenvectors and phase differences of an attractor in the phase space

Measures the chaoticity of the brain waves

where M is the number of times we went through the loop above, and N is the number of time-steps in the fiduciary. NΔt = tn - t0

Embed the data set (EEG). Xi = (x(ti),x(ti+τ),…,x(ti+(p-1)τ))T where τ is the selected time lag between the components of each vector in the phase space, p is the selected dimension of the embedding phase space, and ti [1,T-(p-1) τ].

Pick a point x(t0) somewhere in the middle of the trajectory. Find that point's nearest neighbor. Call that point z0 (t0).

Compute |z0 (t0) - x(t0)| = L0.

Follow the ``difference trajectory" -- the dashed line -- forwards in time, computing |z0 (ti) - x(ti)| = L0(i) and incrementing i, until L0(i) > ε. Call that value L0' and that time t1.

Find z1 (t1), the “nearest neighbor” of x(t1), and go to step 3. Repeat the procedure to the end of the fiduciary trajectory t = tn, keeping track of the Li and Li' .

How similar are they?Statistics to quantify the convergence of STLmax

Statistically Quantifying the Convergence

IID (Independent and Identically Distributed) Test

Assumption 1: Within a window of 30 STLmax points, the differences of STLmax values (Dij) between two electrode sites i and j are independent.

To verify this assumption, Employ “portmanteau” test of white noise developed by Ljung and Box.

Assumption 2: Within a wt window of 60 points, the differences of STLmax values between two electrode sites i and j are normally distributed.

To verify this assumption, Employ To check this assumption, we employed the Shapiro-Wilk W test, which is is a well-established and powerful test of departure from normality.

Homoclinic Chaos (Silnikov’s Theorem):

STLmax versus time and coupling

Why Feature Selection?

Not every electrode site shows the convergence. Feature Selection: Select the electrodes that are most likely to

show the convergence preceding the next seizure.

Optimization: We apply optimization techniques to find a group of

electrode sites such that … They are the most converged (in STLmax) electrode

sites during 10-min window before the seizure They show the dynamical resetting (diverged in

STLmax) during 10-min window after the seizure. Such electrode sites are defined as “critical electrode

sites”. Hypothesis:

The critical electrode sites should be most likely to show the convergence in STLmax again before the next seizure.

Optimization Problem

Multi-Quadratic Integer Programming

To select critical electrode sites, we formulated this problem as a multi-quadratic integer (0-1) programming (MQIP) problem with … objective function to minimize the

average T-index among electrode sites

a linear constraint to identify the number of critical electrode sites

a quadratic constraint to ensure that the selected electrode sites show the dynamical resetting

Problem :

Min f( )

{0,1}, 1,...,

x x Qx

x is an n-dimensional column vector (decision variables), where each xi represents the electrode site i. xi = 1 if electrode i is selected to be one of the critical electrode

sites. xi = 0 otherwise.

Q is an (nn) matrix, whose each element qij represents the T-index between electrode i and j during 10-minute window before a seizure.

b is an integer constant. (the number of critical electrode sites) D is an (nn) matrix, whose each element dij represents the T-

index between electrode i and j during 10-minute window after a seizure.

α = 2.662*b*(b-1), an integer constant. 2.662 is the critical value of T-index, as previously defined, to reject H0: “`two brain sites acquire identical STLmax values within 10-minute window”

Notation and Modeling

Conventional Linearization Approach for Multi-Quadratic 0-1 Problem

Given an unknown-state epoch of EEG signals A, we calculate statistical distances between the EEG epoch and the groups of Normal, Pre-Seizure, and Post-Seizure EEGs in our database.

EEG sample A will be classified in the group of patient’s states (normal, pre-seizure, and post-seizure) that yields the minimum T-index distance.

Kruskal-Wallis Test

…is a nonparametric version of the one-way ANOVA

…is an extension of the Wilcoxon rank sum test to more than two groups

…compares samples from two or more groups. …compares the medians of the samples in X,

and returns the p-value for the null hypothesis that all samples are drawn from the same population (or equivalently, from different populations with the same distribution).

Assumptions

The Kruskal-Wallis test makes the following assumptions about the data in X: All samples come from populations having the

same continuous distribution, apart from possibly different locations due to group effects.

All observations are mutually independent. The classical one-way ANOVA test replaces

the first assumption with the stronger assumption that the populations have normal distributions.

T-test Test the hypothesis of

the difference in means of two samples

Determine whether two samples, x and y, could have the same mean when the standard deviations are unknown but assumed equal.

Asymptotically, Txy index follows a t-distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom.
