Abstract

Epilepsy affects approximately one percent of the world population. Antiepileptic drugs are ineffective in approximately 30% of patients and have side effects. We are developing a noninvasive, or minimally invasive, transcranial focal electrical stimulation (TFS) system through our novel concentric ring electrodes to control seizures. Here we report on the development of a seizure detecting algorithm to be used for automatic application of TFS. A cumulative sum (CUSUM) algorithm was evaluated that detected the electrographic seizure activity in all experiments well in advance of the behavioral seizure activity.
