The Individual Ictal Fingerprint: Combining Movement Measures With Ultra Long-Term Subcutaneous EEG in People With Epilepsy.

ABSTRACT: Background: Epileptic seizures are caused by abnormal brain wave hypersynchronization leading to a range of signs and symptoms. Tools for detecting seizures in everyday life typically focus on cardiac rhythm, electrodermal activity, or movement (EMG, accelerometry); however, these modalities are not very effective for non-motor seizures. Ultra long-term subcutaneous EEG-devices can detect the electrographic changes that do not depend on clinical changes. Nonetheless, this also means that it is not possible to assess whether a seizure is clinical or subclinical based on an EEG signal alone. Therefore, we combine EEG and movement-related modalities in this work. We focus on whether it is possible to define an individual "multimodal ictal fingerprint" which can be exploited in differen
