Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in which patients suffer seizures. Being able to predict the onset of a seizure before it occurs is important since this may facilitate the prevention of accidents and injury that can occur during seizures and additionally may help with pre-seizure delivery of medication or other interventions [1]. Electrical activity in the brain can be monitored using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals [2], which can be recorded from the scalp of patients, referred to as scalp EEG [3], or by implanting electrodes inside brain tissues during surgery, referred to as intracranial EEG signals (iEEG) [4].
