Abstract
Epileptic seizures are caused by abnormal, overly syn- chronized, electrical activity in the brain. The abnor- mal electrical activity manifests as waves, propagating across the brain. Accurate prediction of the propagation velocity and direction of these waves could enable real- time responsive brain stimulation to suppress or prevent the seizures entirely. However, this problem is very chal- lenging because the algorithm must be able to predict the neural signals in a sufficiently long time horizon to allow enough time for medical intervention. We consider how to accomplish long term prediction using a LSTM network. To alleviate the vanishing gradient problem, we propose two encoder-decoder-predictor structures, both using multi-resolution representation. The novel LSTM structure with multi-resolution layers could significantly outperform the single-resolution benchmark with similar number of parameters. To overcome the blurring effect associated with video prediction in the pixel domain using standard mean square error (MSE) loss, we use energy- based adversarial training to improve the long-term pre- diction. We demonstrate and analyze how a discriminative model with an encoder-decoder structure using 3D CNN model improves long term prediction.

癫痫发作是由大脑中异常,过度同步的电活动引起的。异常的电活动表现为波浪,在大脑中传播。准确预测这些波的传播速度和方向可以实现实时响应性脑刺激,从而完全抑制或预防癫痫发作。然而,这个问题非常具有挑战性,因为该算法必须能够在足够长的时间范围内预测神经信号,以便有足够的时间进行医疗干预。我们考虑如何使用LSTM网络完成长期预测。为了减轻消失梯度问题,我们提出了两种编码器 - 解码器 - 预测器结构,两者都使用多分辨率表示。具有多分辨率层的新型LSTM结构可以明显优于具有相似数量参数的单分辨率基准。为了克服与使用标准均方误差(MSE)损失的像素域中的视频预测相关联的模糊效应,我们使用基于能量的对抗训练来改善长期预测。我们演示并分析了使用3D CNN模型的具有编码器 - 解码器结构的判别模型如何改进长期预测。
