title: Impact of patient-specificity on seizure onset detection performance.
abstract: In this paper we quantify the degree to which patient-specificity affects the detection latency, sensitivity, and specificity of a seizure detector using 536 hours of continuously recorded scalp EEG from 16 epilepsy patients. We demonstrate that a detector that knows of an individual's seizure and non-seizure EEG outperforms a detector limited to knowledge of an individual's non-seizure EEG, and a detector limited to knowledge of population seizure and non-seizure EEG.
