Using frequency analysis of vibration for detection of epileptic seizure

Abstract

The subject of my work is a design and realization of a system for detection of epileptic seizure with convulsions of sleeping person. The design is based on idea that epileptic seizure with convulsions can be detect through shaking of person and his bed. The sensors with accelerometers placed on bed and possibly on patient's leg measure the shakes and vibrations of patient or bed. Using the windowed Fourier transform for frequency analysis we can determine the typical frequency that represents the epileptic seizure in accelerometric signal. After that we can established a mathematic algorithm that will detect the epileptic seizure by analysis of accelerometric signal.
