• Automatic identification of intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) signals has become more and more important in the field of medical diagnostics. In this paper, an optimized neural network classifier is proposed based on an improved feature extraction method for the identification of iEEG epileptic seizures. Four kinds of entropy, Sample entropy, Approximate entropy, Shannon entropy, Log energy entropy are extracted from the database as the feature vectors of Neural network (NN) during the identification process. Four kinds of classification tasks, namely Pre-ictal v Post-ictal (CD), Pre-ictal v Epileptic (CE), Post-ictal v Epileptic (DE), Pre-ictal v Post-ictal v Epileptic (CDE), are used to test the effect of our classification method. The experimental results show that our algorithm achieves higher performance in all tasks than previous algorithms. The effect of hidden layer nodes number is investigated by a constructive approach named growth method. We obtain the optimized number ranges of hidden layer nodes for the binary classification problems CD, CE, DE, and the multitask classification problem CDE, respectively.
