Abstract
ObjectiveDevelop a high-performing algorithm to detect mesial temporal lobe (mTL) epileptiform discharges on intracranial electrode recordings. MethodsAn epileptologist annotated 13,959 epileptiform discharges from a dataset of intracranial EEG recordings from 46 epilepsy patients. Using this dataset, we trained a convolutional neural network (CNN) to recognize mTL epileptiform discharges from a single intracranial bipolar channel. The CNN outputs from multiple bipolar channel inputs were averaged to generate the final detector output. Algorithm performance was estimated using a nested 5-fold cross-validation. ResultsOn the receiver-operating characteristic curve, our algorithm achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.996 and a partial AUC (for specificity > 0.9) of 0.981. AUC on a precision-recall curve was 0.807. A sensitivity of 84% was attained at a false positive rate of 1 per minute. 35.9% of the false positive detections corresponded to epileptiform discharges that were missed during expert annotation. ConclusionsUsing deep learning, we developed a high-performing, patient non-specific algorithm for detection of mTL epileptiform discharges on intracranial electrodes. SignificanceOur algorithm has many potential applications for understanding the impact of mTL epileptiform discharges in epilepsy and on cognition, and for developing therapies to specifically reduce mTL epileptiform activity.
