Comparing spiking and slow wave activity from invasive electroencephalography in patients with and without seizures

Seizures have long been defined as paroxysmal events typified by abnormally excessive or synchronous brain activity (Fisher et al., 2005). Seizures can occur in healthy brain, or can be the result of disease. By definition, epilepsy requires an increased probability of seizures. Seizure threshold is a clinically useful concept expressing a time-varying probability of seizures. Despite clinical relevance, there remains no clear way of quantitatively assessing seizure probability. As a result, epilepsy patients often undergo long therapy titrations or never have their therapy appropriately optimized.
