In recent years, the electroencephalography (EEG) signal identification of epileptic seizures has developed into a routine procedure to determine epilepsy. Since physically identifying epileptic seizures by expert neurologists becomes a labor-intensive, time-consuming procedure that also produces several errors. Thus, efficient, and computerized detection of epileptic seizures is required. The disordered brain function that causes epileptic seizures can have an impact on a patient's condition. Epileptic seizures can be prevented by medicine with great success if they are predicted before they start. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are utilized to predict epileptic seizures by using machine learning algorithms and complex computational methodologies. Furthermore, two significant challenges that affect both expectancy time and genuine positive forecast rate are feature extraction from EEG signals and noise removal from EEG signals. As a result, we suggest a model that offers trustworthy preprocessing and feature extraction techniques. To automatically identify epileptic seizures, a variety of ensemble learning-based classifiers were utilized to extract frequency-based features from the EEG signal. Our algorithm offers a higher true positive rate and diagnoses epileptic episodes with enough foresight before they begin. On the scalp EEG CHB-MIT dataset on 24 subjects, this suggested framework detects the beginning of the preictal state, the state that occurs before a few minutes of the onset of the detention, resulting in an elevated true positive rate of (91%) than conventional methods and an optimum estimation time of 33 minutes and an average time of prediction is 23 minutes and 36 seconds. Depending on the experimental findings’ The maximum accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity rates in this research were 91 %, 98%, and 84%.
