Abstract
Classification of neurocognitive states from Electroencephalography (EEG) data is complex due to inherent challenges such as noise, non-stationarity, non-linearity, and the high-dimensional and sparse nature of connectivity patterns. Graph-theoretical approaches provide a powerful framework for analysing the latent state dynamics using connectivity measures across spatio-temporal-spectral dimensions. This study applies the graph Koopman embedding kernels (GKKE) method to extract latent neuro-markers of seizures from epileptiform EEG activity. EEG-derived graphs were constructed using correlation and mean phase locking value (mPLV), with adjacency matrices generated via threshold-binarised connectivity. Graph kernels, including Random Walk, Weisfeiler–Lehman (WL), and spectral-decomposition (SD) kernels, were evaluated for latent space feature extraction by approximating Koopman spectral decomposition. The potential of graph Koopman embeddings in identifying latent metastable connectivity structures has been demonstrated with empirical analyses. The robustness of these features was evaluated using classifiers such as Decision Trees, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest, on Epilepsy-EEG from the Children’s Hospital Boston’s (CHB)-MIT dataset and cognitive-load-EEG datasets from online repositories. The classification workflow combining mPLV connectivity measure, WL graph Koopman kernel, and Decision Tree (DT) outperformed the alternative combinations, particularly considering the accuracy (91.7%) and F1-score (88.9%), The comparative investigation presented in results section convinces that employing cost-sensitive learning improved the F1-score for the mPLV-WL-DT workflow to 91% compared to 88.9% without cost-sensitive learning. This work advances EEG-based neuro-marker estimation, facilitating reliable assistive tools for prognosis and cognitive training protocols.
