Objectives: The present study is designed to explore the process of epileptic patterns' automatic detection, specifically, epileptic spikes and high-frequency oscillations (HFOs), via a selection of machine learning (ML) techniques. The primary motivation for conducting such a research lies mainly in the need to investigate the long-term electroencephalography (EEG) recordings' visual examination process, often considered as a time-consuming and potentially error-prone procedure, requiring a great deal of mental focus and highly experimented neurologists. On attempting to resolve such a challenge, a number of state-of-the-art ML algorithms have been evaluated and compare in terms of performance, to pinpoint the most effective algorithm fit for accurately extracting epileptic EEG patterns.

However, the visual analysis of long-term EEG recordings is characterized by its subjectivity, time-consuming procedure and its erroneous detection. Various epileptic seizure detection algorithms have been proposed to deal with such issues.
