WGB-GLFI: A Novel Graph-Based Global-Local Feature Interaction Framework for Automated Seizure Detection

Epilepsy detection faces significant challenges due to unpredictable seizures, ranging from brief awareness lapses to severe convulsions, posing risks to patients' safety and quality of life. In recent years, deep learning has become a mainstream approach in this field, leveraging advanced computational resources and EEG datasets. However, a key challenge remains: existing methods often lack unified spatial modeling and struggle to effectively handle local detailed features, thereby limiting their accuracy and robustness. To address these issues, we propose the Weighted Graph Building Global-Local Feature Interaction (WGB-GLFI) framework, which integrates spatial connectivity and dynamic patterns through a Weighted Graph Building (WGB) module and a Global-Local Feature Interaction (GLFI) module. This approach excels by comprehensively capturing the dynamic spatial relationships during epileptic seizures and achieving seamless global-local feature integration, significantly enhancing seizure detection performance. Its effectiveness has been validated across multiple datasets, including CHB-MIT, Siena Scalp, and private datasets, demonstrating robust and reliable results. Evaluated on these datasets, our model achieves accuracy rates of 99.28%, 99.21%, and 99.30%, respectively. The reliability and robustness of our framework provide epilepsy patients with faster and more reliable seizure detection, which helps to intervene in a timely manner and improve the quality of life of patients.
