  • Abstract
    A signal feature with low computational burden is presented as an efficient tool for seizure onset detection. The feature was evaluated over a total of. 1,215 hours of intracranial EEG signal from 10 patients. Results confirmed this feature as being useful for seizure onset detection yielding an average delay of 4.1 seconds, 0.051 false positives per hour, and one false negative on a subclinical seizure out of 111 seizures analyzed of which 23 were subclinical.
