While Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have shown strong performance, their large parameter counts and high power consumption limit their practical application. Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), with their inherent sparsity and parallelism, offer a promising solution; yet most existing SNN models for epilepsy detection are confined to binary classification and fail to fully exploit the rich spatiotemporal dependencies within EEG data. To address these limitations, this study proposes a lightweight Bidirectional Spiking Recurrent Neural Network (Bi\u2010SRNN) for advanced seizure stage classification. We employ Step\u2010Forward (SF) encoding to mitigate information loss from high\u2010frequency EEG oscillations and introduce the Bi\u2010SRNN architecture, based on the Adaptive Leaky Integrate\u2010and\u2010Fire (ALIF) model, to specifically enhance multi\u2010class classification performance and capture long\u2010term temporal features. Our model achieved accuracies of 100% and 99.00% in binary and ternary classification tasks on the public Bonn dataset through five\u2010fold cross\u2010validation, also achieving strong results on the New Delhi dataset. Furthermore, in transfer learning experiments where the model pre\u2010trained on the Bonn dataset was applied to new datasets, it demonstrated good generalization performance, also achieving strong results on the New Delhi dataset. With superior performance in both accuracy and model efficiency, the proposed method is well\u2010suited for deployment on edge devices, offering a more effective tool to assist in clinical diagnosis and treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cpe.70343","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,16]],"date-time":"2025-10-16T00:39:58Z","timestamp":1760575198000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["<scp>EEG<\/scp>\n                    Signal Identification of Epilepsy Based on Step\u2010Forward Encoding and Bidirectional Spiking Recurrent Neural Network"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Wujian","family":"Ye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Engineering Guangdong University of Technology  Guangzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-3246-7628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zheng","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Engineering Guangdong University of Technology  Guangzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shitao","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Engineering Guangdong University of Technology  Guangzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yijun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Engineering Guangdong University of Technology  Guangzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenjie","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PengCheng Laboratory  Shenzhen China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","first-page":"366","volume-title":"Epilepsy: The Facts","author":"Sinha S.
