An electroencephalographic recording platform for real-time seizure detection.
There are currently no clinical devices that can be worn by epilepsy patients who suffer from intractable seizures to warn them of seizure onset. Here we summarize state-of-the-art therapies and devices, and present a second-generation hardware platform in which seizure detection algorithms may be programmed into the device. Bi-polar electrographic data is presented for a prototype device and future implementations are discussed.
