As already seen in a former study of 315 epileptic seizures in adults, subsequent investigation of 3333 epileptic seizures in six adolescents revealed a significant increase of the seizure frequency during days with a higher mean frequency of 28 kHz atmospherics, and a decrease during days with a (Baumer apparatus) distinctly higher amount of 10 kHz when compared with the daily mean frequency within the whole period. However, one patient showed an opposite behaviour regarding the correlations of 28 and 10 kHz atmospherics and the mean numbers of seizures.
