Epilepsy is one of the most common brain disorders and is characterized by the recurrence of unprovoked seizures. It affects over 70 million people worldwide, 3.4 million in the U.S. alone, and it is estimated 1 in 26 people in the U.S. will develop the disease at some point in their lifetime (Epilepsy Foundation).
The current need for further intervention in Epilepsy treatment is made clear by the amount of refractory cases to pharmacological management. With 2/3 of epilepsy able to be properly managed with treatment, 1/3 is considered drug resistant (DRE). DRE is associated with higher morbidity and mortality and can have a significant negative impact on a patients quality of life.
Digital EEGs are used for automated seizure event detection. While an event is occurring, intracranial EEG recordings can rapidly detect spikes to more closely pin down the area affected.
