Epilepsy, a neurological disease characterized by recurrent seizures, can be diagnosed using Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Traditional diagnostic methods often face limitations, leading to delays and potential misdiagnoses. In response, researchers have been developing low-cost assistive systems to enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce life-threatening risks for epilepsy patients. In this study, a hybrid approach is proposed to diagnose epilepsy disease. To validate the success of the proposed algorithm, Hauz Khas and Bonn data sets were used. AlexNet, GoogleNet, VGG19, ResNet50, and ResNet101 classifiers were employed in this study along with the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT). To increase the generalization capability, 10-fold cross-validation method was used in the classification process. Firstly, the preictal and ictal moments in the Hauz Khas dataset was classified with 99.5% success rate by CWT method and Resnet101. Similarly, 99.8% accuracy was achieved in the binary classification of the Bonn dataset using the CWT method with Resnet101. Finally, for the classification with the AB-CD-E group, 99.33% classification success rate was achieved by using the CWT method with the Resnet-101 model. These findings underscore the potential of the proposed assistive system to significantly improve the diagnosis and management of epilepsy, demonstrating high accuracy and reliability across different datasets and classification techniques
