Anterior nucleus of the thalamus seizure detection in ambulatory humans.

ABSTRACT: There is a paucity of data to guide anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) deep brain stimulation (DBS) with brain sensing. The clinical Medtronic Percept DBS device provides constrained brain sensing power within a frequency band (power-in-band [PIB]), recorded in 10-min averaged increments. Here, four patients with temporal lobe epilepsy were implanted with an investigational device providing full bandwidth chronic intracranial electroencephalogram (cEEG) from bilateral ANT and hippocampus (Hc). ANT PIB-based seizure detection was assessed. Detection parameters were cEEG PIB center frequency, bandwidth, and epoch duration. Performance was evaluated against epileptologist-confirmed Hc seizures, and assessed by area under the precision-recall curve (PR-AUC). Data included 99 days of cEEG,
