Seizure Duration Estimates from Single Channel Eeg Record: a Methodological Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seizure duration was estimated using a single channel EEG recording during ECT. Seizure endpoint was defined as the point of last spike. Three psychiatrists independently rated forty seven EEG records. Seizure endpoint could be reliably identified. The reliability coefficient between three raters was 0. 92, indicating high agreement among raters. Modal difference between any pair of raters as well as all three was 0.5 second or less. Operational definition of seizure endpoint improves the reliability of identifying the same and hence estimation of seizure duration from even a single channel EEG trace.

Epileptic seizure detection based on The Limited Penetrable visibility graph algorithm and graph properties
Introduction: Epileptic seizure detection is a key step for both researchers and epilepsy specialists for epilepsy assessment due to the non-stationariness and chaos in the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Current research is directed toward the development of an efficient method for epilepsy or seizure detection based the limited penetrable visibility graph (LPVG) algorith...

Sir, EEG monitoring during ECT procedure to measure the duration of seizures has been recommended (American Psychiatric Association, 1990; Freeman et al, 1989). We have designed an EEG amplifier of 2 channels with a gain of 2000 and filter settings of 2Hz (high pass), 40Hz (low pass) and 50Hz (notch filter) and recorded from F3 and F4 referenced to ipsilateral mastoids with ground on forehead. ...

Thirty melancholic patients participated in a double blind trial comparing efficacy of modified bilateral sinewave ECT given twice or thrice weekly. Seizure was monitored on a single channel EEG tracing. All patients received ECTs in the first two weeks of the four week study period. Seizure duration estimate from EEG tracings available for 22 patients (10 patients of thrice weekly group) on al...

Localization of sources in patients with focal seizure has recently attracted many attentions. In the severe cases of focal seizure, there is a possibility of doing neurosurgery operation to remove the defected tissue. The prosperity of this heavy operation completely depends on the accuracy of source localization. To increase this accuracy, this paper presents a new weighted beamforming method...

The seizure EEG records of 25 depressives receiving ECT were 'blindly' rated by two trained raters using a uniform definition of seizure endpoint. The EEG seizure duration estimates were validated against five expected relationships. EEG seizure duration correlated with and was more than motor seizure duration, reduced over the course of ECTs, was consistent within subjects, and negatively vari...
