Enhancements in epilepsy forewarning via phase-space dissimilarity

J Clin Neurophysiol. 2005 Dec;22(6):402-9. doi: 10.1097/01.wnp.0000184010.00653.ea.

Abstract

The authors extend the recent application of phase-space dissimilarity measures for scalp EEG data in two directions. First, a forewarning window of up to 8 hours was used, thereby providing more forewarning time of the seizure event. This window was limited to a maximum of 1 hour in their previous work. Second, they combined information from two channels via a multichannel phase-space to improve the quality and confidence limits of the forewarning. Combining these two enhancements, they obtained two-channel results that were superior to the single-channel ones.
