Home-Based sensing of the nervous system with clinical neurophysiology technologies: IFCN handbook chapter
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Home-based neurophysiological monitoring is improving the assessment and management of neurological conditions such as epilepsy. Technologies such as electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and accelerometry are increasingly integrated into wearable systems for at-home use. Due to an increasing amount of data from long-term monitoring, machine learning algorithms assist in automated data analysis. However, ensuring device accuracy, signal quality, and user compliance remains crucial for clinical useability. Objective: This chapter explores advances and challenges in at-home neurophysiological monitoring, with a primary focus on EEG systems and their applications.Content: The discussion highlights the technological advances and the challenges associated with at-home monitoring. The focus will be on EEG systems, as well as a discussion of EMG in epilepsy. Next, we will provide an overview of the clinical applications for home-based monitoring of epilepsy and sleep disorders. Lastly, we will briefly discuss emerging topics within home-based monitoring in movement disorders and neurodegenerative disorders. Conclusion: Future advancements are expected with new generations of wearable systems capable of providing long-term monitoring with minimal maintenance. Beyond epilepsy and sleep disorders, home-based technologies are also being investigated in other neurological diseases including movement disorders and neurodegenerative diseases showing the expanding scope of home-based technologies in neurology.

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.
