RIHANet: A Residual-based Inception with Hybrid-Attention Network for Seizure Detection using EEG signals

Increasing attention is being given to machine learning methods designed to aid clinicians in treatment selection. Therefore, this has aroused a heightened focus on the auto -detect system of epilepsy utilizing electroencephalogram(EEG) data. However, in order for the recognition model to accurately capture a wide range of features related to channel, frequency, and temporal information, it is necessary to have EEG data that is correctly represented. To tackle this challenge, we propose a Residual -based Inception with HybridAttention Network(RIHANet) to achieve automatic seizure detection. Initially, by employing Empirical Mode Decomposition and Short -time Fourier Transform(EMD-STFT) for data processing, it can improve the quality of time-frequency representation of EEG. Additionally, by applying a novel Residual -based Inception to the network architecture, the detection model can learn local and global multiscale spatial-temporal features. Furthermore, the Hybrid Attention model designed is used to obtain relationships between EEG signals from multiple perspectives, including channels, sub -spaces, and global. Using four public datasets, the suggested approach outperforms the results in the most recent scholarly publications.
