Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. BioMedInformatics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Background: Epilepsy, a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures affecting an estimated 70 million people worldwide, poses a significant diagnostic challenge. EEG serves as an important tool in identifying these seizures, but the manual examination of EEGs by experts is time-consuming. To expedite this process, automated seizure detection methods have emerged as powerful aids for expert EEG analysis. It is worth noting that while such methods are well-established for adult EEGs, they have been underdeveloped for pediatric and adolescent EEGs. This study sought to address this gap by devising an automatic seizure detection system tailored for pediatric and adolescent EEG data. Methods: Leveraging publicly available datasets, the TUH pediatric and adolescent EEG and CHB-MIT EEG datasets, the machine learning-based models were constructed. The TUH pediatric and adolescent EEG dataset was divided into training (n = 118), validation (n = 19), and testing (n = 37) subsets, with special attention to ensure a clear demarcation between the individuals in the training and test sets to preserve the test set’s independence. The CHB-MIT EEG dataset was used as an external test set. Age and sex were incorporated as features in the models to investigate their potential influence on seizure detection. Results: By leveraging 20 features extracted from both time and frequency domains, along with age as an additional feature, the method achieved an accuracy of 98.95% on the TUH test set and 64.82% on the CHB-MIT external test set. Our investigation revealed that age is a crucial factor for accurate seizure detection in pediatric and adolescent EEGs. Conclusion: The outcomes of this study hold substantial promise in supporting researchers and clinicians engaged in the automated analysis of seizures in pediatric and adolescent EEGs. Full article
