Detecting seizure onset and offset times using human intelligence: A critical-transitions-based approach

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.27105v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most existing seizure detection algorithms require extensive pre-processing of the data and rely on heuristic or currently unexplainable machine learning approaches. These approaches often struggle with balancing detection sensitivity and specificity in the presence of variable seizure morphologies, interictal epileptiform discharges, and artefacts. Here, we consider an alternative approach: our seizure detection algorithm, which is based on the concept of critical transitions and overcomes the aforementioned limitations. Specifically, we perform a receiver-operating-characteristic analysis to quantify the performance of our algorithm in terms of its agreement with expert annotations of seizure onset and offset times in the voltage recordin
