kNN Classification of Epilepsy Brainwaves

Epilepsy is a disorder of the normal brain function by the existence of abnormal synchronous discharges in large groups of neurons in brain structures and it is estimated about 1% of the world’s population suffers from this disease [Tzallas et al., 2009]. It has been reported that the brainwave of...
