Abstract: Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder. The need of the hour is an automated analysis of the Electroencephalographs (EEGs), which enhances efficiency of diagnosis. This paper presents simple and new approach for classifying the types of epileptic seizures. A set of feed forward neural network with wavelet feature extraction are used to process time, frequency to detect and classify the type of seizure like absence, Tonic-clonic, Febrile and Complex partial seizures. Tests of the system on EEG indicate a success rate of 94.3%. This method makes it possible as a real-time detector, which will improve the clinical service of Electroencephalographic recording.
