EEG

For a small proportion of this group of epilepsy patients, less than 10%, recording seizures using scalp EEG is enough to provide the necessary information.

Using a computer algorithm, the researchers can design the spots for EEG electrodes on the patient's scalp.

EEG style measurements show clear neural reactions in the crustacean's brain during mechanical or chemical stimulation.

The collected EEG and audio signals were transformed into spectrograms, allowing the data to be visualised.

Because EEG readings are the only method for knowing when unconscious patients are in danger of suffering a seizure or are having seizure-like events, the computational tool could help save thousands of lives each year.
