The high mortality rate associated with brain tumors requires early detection in the early stages to treat and reduce mortality. Due to the complexity of brain tissue, manual diagnosis of the brain and tumor tissues is very time‐consuming and operator dependent. Furthermore, there is a need for experts who can review the images to detect these effects, rendering traditional methods inefficient in their presence. Therefore, the use of automated procedures for the careful examination of tumors can prove useful. In this study, a new metaheuristic‐based system is presented for the early detection of brain tumors. The proposed method implements three main steps, namely tumor segmentation, feature extraction, and classification based on a deep belief network. An improved version of the seagull optimization algorithm is adopted for optimal selection of the features and classification of the images. The simulation results of the proposed method are compared with a few existing methods. The final results demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits superior performance in terms of the CDR, FAR, and FRR indices compared with the other methods.
