In this study, different systems based on the fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering algorithm are utilized for the detection of epileptic spikes in electroencephalogram (EEG) records. The systems are constructed as either single or two-stages. In contrast to single-stage systems, the two-stage system comprises a pre-classifier stage realized by a neural network. The FCM based two-stage system is also compared to a similar system implemented using the K-means clustering algorithm. The results imply that an FCM based two-stage system should be preferred as the spike detection System. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
