Detection of Epileptic Seizures in Scalp Electroencephalogram
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study evaluates a new automated patient-specific method for epileptic seizure detection using scalp electroencephalogram (EEG). The method relies on a normalized wavelet-based index, named the combined seizure index (CSI), and requires a seizure example and a nonseizure EEG interval as reference. The CSI is derived for every epoch in each EEG channel and is sensitive to both the rhythmicity and relative energy of that epoch and the consistency of EEG patterns among different channels. Increasing significantly as seizures occur, the CSI is monitored using a one-sided cumulative sum test to generate appropriate alarms in each channel. A seizure alarm is finally generated according to channel-based information. The proposed method was evaluated using the scalp EEG test data of approximately 236 hours from 26 patients with a total of 79 focal seizures, achieving a high sensitivity of approximately 91% with a false detection rate of 0.33 per hour and a median detection latency of 7 seconds. In addition, statistical analysis revealed that the average CSI around the onset on the side of the focus in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is significantly greater than that of the opposite side (P < 0.001), indicating the capability of this index in lateralizing the seizure focus in this type of epilepsy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
