Epilepsy can be detected with electroencephalograms (EEGs), which record brain neural activity. Traditional approaches for detecting epileptic seizures from an EEG signal are time-consuming and annoying. To supersede these traditional methods, a myriad of automated seizure detection frameworks based on machine learning techniques have recently been developed. Feature extraction and classification are the two essential phases for seizure detection. The classifier assigns the proper class label after feature extraction lowers the input pattern space while maintaining useful features. This paper proposes a new feature extraction method based on calculating nonlinear features from the most relevant EEG frequency bands. The EEG signal is first decomposed into smaller time segments from which a vector of nonlinear features is computed and supplied to machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) classifiers. Experiments on the Bonn dataset reveals an accuracy of 99.7% reached in classifying normal and ictal EEG signals; and an accuracy of 98.8% in the discrimination of ictal and interictal EEG signals. Furthermore, a performance of 100% is achieved on the Hauz Khas dataset. The classification results of the proposed approach were compared to those from published state of the art techniques.

This study aimed to investigate the hemodynamic and structural behavior of arterial walls using a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model. Modeling the walls as hyper-elastic materials and assuming Newtonian blood flow, COMSOL multiphysics was used to create a three-dimensional (3D) computational model of the aorta and its main branches. Our new model enhances one-way and two-way coupling comparisons to evaluate the effects on wall stress, velocity profiles, and flow and pressure distributions. According to the simulation results, two-way coupling efficiently captured the bidirectional interplay between blood flow and arterial mechanics, improving wall stress estimates by 30% compared with one-way coupling. Under high-viscosity conditions (0.1 Pa·s), the proximal aorta exhibited a peak velocity of approximately 0.13 m/s, which gradually decreased downstream owing to branching and arterial compliance. Systolic pressures were highest near the aortic entrance and decreased downstream, according to pressure distribution studies. Furthermore, under extreme hypertension conditions (160 mmHg), the experiments revealed a maximal displacement of 4.10 μm, where the mechanical stress was highest in disease-prone areas. Nevertheless, although intensive computations are required, our results highlight the potential of sophisticated FSI modeling to improve personalized risk prediction for cardiovascular disorders.</p>","PeriodicalId":50640,"journal":{"name":"Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145202047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
