title: Spike detection based on a pattern recognition approach using a microcomputer.
abstract: A system for the detection of spikes and sharp waves (SSWs) in EEGs of epileptic patients is described. The system uses a pattern recognition technique and it is implemented in a hybrid microcomputer. It performs the on-line simultaneous analysis of 4 EEG channels and thus it is appropriate for long-term EEG recording. The performance of the system was considered satisfactory when compared with that of a panel of electroencephalographers.
