A timely detection of seizures for newborn infants with electroencephalogram
(EEG) has been a common yet life-saving practice in the Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit (NICU). However, it requires great human efforts for real-time monitoring,
which calls for automated solutions to neonatal seizure detection. Moreover,
the current automated methods focusing on adult epilepsy monitoring often fail
due to (i) dynamic seizure onset location in human brains; (ii) different
montages on neonates and (iii) huge distribution shift among different
subjects. In this paper, we propose a deep learning framework, namely STATENet,
to address the exclusive challenges with exquisite designs at the temporal,
spatial and model levels. The experiments over the real-world large-scale
neonatal EEG dataset illustrate that our framework achieves significantly
better seizure detection performance.
