Abstract—In this paper, the Harmony Search (HS)-aided BP neural networks are used for the classification of the epileptic electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. It is well known that the gradient descent-based learning method can result in local optima in the training of BP neural networks, which may significantly affect their approximation performances. Three HS methods, the original version and two new variations recently proposed by the authors of the present paper, are applied here to optimize the weights in the BP neural networks for the classification of the epileptic EEG signals. Simulations have demonstrated that the classification accuracy of the BP neural networks can be remarkably improved by the HS method-based training.
