About this study

In a first step, the team will build a multi-parametric algorithm on existing records issued from the Epilepsy Monitoring Units. Each selected record will be analyzed by EMU medical team in order to detect seizure on the EEG. The algorithm will adapt in order to obtain the best sensitivity and specificity regarding seizure detection.

in a second step,algorithm will validate on a cohort of other recordings in patients with epilepsy

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • patients with epilepsy
  • with a long-term video-EEG recording
  • 1 (or more) seizure (s) recorded
  • onset seizure clearly defined on the basis of the EEG

Exclusion criteria

  • bad quality of the Electrocardiogram recording
  • pace-maker
  • non sinus rhythm

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. ROC curve for seizure detection

    Time frame: 24 months

    ROC curve gives the relation between detection probability and false alarm probability of the algorithm that will be developped

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time of detection of seizures

    Time frame: 24 months

    Time of detection of seizures by the algorithm

  2. ROC curve for Psychogenic seizure detection

    Time frame: 24 months

    ROC curve for Psychogenic seizure detection
