Many Neurological disorders are very difficult to detect. One such Neurological disorder which we are going to discuss in this paper is Epilepsy. Epilepsy means sudden change in the behavior of a human being for a short period of time. This is caused due to seizures in the brain. Many researches are going onto detect epilepsy detection through analyzing EEG. One such method of epilepsy detection is proposed in this paper. This technique employs Discrete Wave Transform (DWT) method for pre-processing, Approximate Entropy (ApEn) to extract features and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for classification. This paper presented a detailed survey of various methods that are being used for epilepsy detection and also proposes a wavelet based epilepsy detection method.
