METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING EPILEPTIC SEIZURES

摘要

A method and apparatus for accurately determining the onset or occurrence of an epileptic seizure is disclosed. The system includes an electroencephalograph (EEG) (16a) and an electromyograph (EMG) (16b) which provide signals to signal processors (17a, 17b). The signal processor operates to generate a digitized envelope wave form of th EEG wave form and the EMG waveform. If the waveforms all have an amplitude within a predetermined threshold, for a predetermined time interval, a CPU (21) provides a signal to an output display (23) indicative of an epileptic seizure.
