Figure.10. shows the ROC curve demonstrates the
performance of the model in distinguishing between
classes, with an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of
0.87. This indicates that the model has a high ability
to discriminate between focal and non-focal classes,
performing significantly better than random guessing
(represented by the diagonal line). The curve’s prox-
imity to the top-left corner suggests a good balance
between the true positive rate (sensitivity) and false
positive rate, making the model reliable for classifica-
tion tasks.

5 CONCLUSIONS
This study highlights the potential of machine learn-
ing in automating epilepsy detection using EEG-
based scalogram images. The proposed custom CNN
model achieved a training accuracy of 74.07% and a
testing accuracy of 73.22%, demonstrating its abil-
ity to learn meaningful patterns from the data. Addi-
tionally, the VGG-16 model outperformed the custom
CNN, achieving a training accuracy of 81.13% and a
testing accuracy of 80.04%.
The CNN model has 9 layers but yet works good
in comparison with the 16 layers of VGG-16. These
results underscore the utility of advanced image-
based analytics in healthcare while also emphasizing
the importance of optimizing models for enhanced
performance and generalization. This project lays
a foundation for developing scalable, real-time sys-
tems for epilepsy diagnosis, with future work focus-
ing on improving model robustness, leveraging larger
and more diverse datasets, and exploring deployment
strategies for real-world applications.
