Electric activity of brain gets disturbed prior to epileptic seizure onset. Early prediction of an upcoming seizure can help to increase effectiveness of antiepileptic drugs. The scalp electroencephalogram signals contain information about the dynamics of brain and have been used to predict an upcoming seizure and localise its zone. ⋯ So, temporal region is identified as the epileptogenic region in this work. For prediction of the epileptic seizure machine learning algorithm artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed. The proposed machine learning algorithm has an accuracy of 92.3%, sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 83.3%.
