This paper proposes an information-theoretic measure for discriminating epileptic patterns in short-term electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. Considering nonlinearity and nonstationarity in EEG signals, quantifying complexity has been preferred. To decipher abnormal epileptic EEGs, i.e., ictal and interictal EEGs, via short-term EEG recordings, a distribution entropy (DE) is used, motivated by its robustness on the signal length. In addition, to reflect the dynamic complexity inherent in EEGs, a multiscale entropy analysis is incorporated. Here, two multiscale distribution entropy (MDE) methods using the coarse-graining and moving-average procedures are presented. Using two popular epileptic EEG datasets, i.e., the Bonn and the Bern-Barcelona datasets, the performance of the proposed MDEs is verified. Experimental results show that the proposed MDEs are robust to the length of EEGs, thus reflecting complexity over multiple time scales. In addition, the proposed MDEs are consistent irrespective of the selection of short-term EEGs from the entire EEG recording. By evaluating the Man-Whitney U test and classification performance, the proposed MDEs can better discriminate epileptic EEGs than the existing methods. Moreover, the proposed MDE with the moving-average procedure performs marginally better than one with the coarse-graining. The experimental results suggest that the proposed MDEs are applicable to practical seizure detection applications.
