Visual seizure annotation and automated seizure detection using behind‐the‐ear electroencephalographic channels

Abstract

Visual recognition of ictal EEG patterns using only behind-the-ear EEG is possible in a significant number of patients with TLE. A patient-specific seizure detection algorithm using only behind-the-ear EEG was able to detect more seizures automatically than what patients typically report, with 0.49 FPs/24 hours. We conclude that a large number of refractory TLE patients can benefit from using this device.
