Introduction

An epileptic seizure, as defined by the International League Against Epilepsy [1], is a temporary event of symptoms due to synchronization of abnormally excessive activities of neurons in the brain. It has been estimated that approximately 65 million people around the world are affected by epilepsy [2]. Nevertheless, it is still a time-consuming process for neurologists to review continuous electroencephalograms (EEGs) to monitor epileptic patients. Therefore, several researchers have developed differenttechniques that help neurologists to identify an epilepsy occurrence [3–۵]. The whole process of automated epileptic seizure analysis primarily consists of data acquisition, signal pre-processing, feature extraction, feature or channel selection, and classification. This paper focuses on a selection of features commonly used in the literature, including statistical parameters (mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis), amplitude-related parameters (energy, nonlinear energy, line length, maximum and minimum values) and entropyrelated measures. These features can be categorized based on their interpretation or the domain from which the features are calculated. While some studies have considered a particular group of features applicable to their proposed classification method [6–۸], others have applied various groups of features extracted from the time, frequency, and time-frequency domains.
