Region-Aware Genetic Feature Selection with Demographic Meta-Integration and Ensemble Learning for EEG epilepsy Seizure Detection

Accurate electroencephalogram (EEG)-based seizure detection is important for early epilepsy diagnosis and timely intervention, yet existing methods often trade predictive performance for interpretability. Deep learning models can achieve high accuracy but function as black boxes, limiting clinical trust. Conventional machine learning models are more transparent, but they often ignore neurophysiological structure and patient-specific metadata, which can reduce performance. To address this gap, th
