Correct identification of epileptic seizures is critical in the treatment and management of patients with epileptic disorders. One in four patients present resistance against seizures episodes and are in dire need of detecting these critical events through continuous treatment in order to manage the specific disease. Epileptic seizures can be identified by reliably and accurately monitoring the patients\u2019 neuro and muscle activities, cardiac activity, and oxygen saturation level using state-of-the-art sensing techniques including electroencephalograms (EEGs), electromyography (EMG), electrocardiograms (ECGs), and motion or audio\/video recording that focuses on the human head and body. EEG analysis provides a prominent solution to distinguish between the signals associated with epileptic episodes and normal signals; therefore, this work aims to leverage on the latest EEG dataset using cutting-edge deep learning algorithms such as random neural network (RNN), convolutional neural network (CNN), extremely random tree (ERT), and residual neural network (ResNet) to classify multiple variants of epileptic seizures from non-seizures. The results obtained highlighted that RNN outperformed all other algorithms used and provided an overall accuracy of 97%, which was slightly improved after cross validation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22072466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,23]],"date-time":"2022-03-23T22:08:06Z","timestamp":1648073286000},"page":"2466","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Random Neural Network Based Epileptic Seizure Episode Detection Exploiting Electroencephalogram Signals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Syed Yaseen","family":"Shah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computing, Engineering and Built Environment, Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow G4 0BA, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6826-207X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hadi","family":"Larijani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SMART Technology Research Centre, Glasgow Caledonian University, Cowcaddens Road, Glasgow G4 0BA, UK"}]},{"given":"Ryan M.","family":"Gibson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computing, Engineering and Built Environment, Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow G4 0BA, UK"}]},{"given":"Dimitrios","family":"Liarokapis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computing, Engineering and Built Environment, Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow G4 0BA, UK"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Fundamentals of EEG measurement","volume":"2","author":"Teplan","year":"2002","journal-title":"Meas.
