Abstract

In the past our research group has developed a method for the detection of focal epileptic EEG (electroencephalogram) spikes that is based on the dipole source localization technique and provides a source localization for each detected spike. In this paper we revisit this method and propose a more accurate explanation of its behavior. Based on this we (i) propose a new method for the detection of epileptic EEG spikes in which the eccentricity of the fitted dipole serves as a new decision variable (ii) conclude that for EEG spike detection one has to make a distinction between EEGs acquired during sleep and during wake.
