  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING SEIZURES
    Publication number: 20150250415
    Abstract: A method of detecting seizures may comprise receiving an EMG signal and processing the received EMG signal to determine whether a seizure characteristic is present in the EMG signal during a time window. An apparatus for detecting seizures with motor manifestations may comprise one or more EMG electrodes capable of providing an EMG signal substantially representing seizure-related muscle activity; and a processor configured to receive the EMG signal, process the EMG signal to determine whether a seizure may be occurring, and generate an alert if a seizure is determined to be occurring based on the EMG signal.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 16, 2015
    Publication date: September 10, 2015
    Inventors: James R. Leininger, Russell M. Herring, Michael R. Girouard, Jose E. Cavazos

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING SEIZURES
    Publication number: 20130012830
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting seizures with motor manifestations including detecting EMG signals, isolating from the EMG signals spectral data for a plurality of frequency bands, and calculating a T-squared value there from. The T-squared values may be detected in real time, such as in a patient's home environment, and the T-squared data may be compared to a threshold T-squared value to determine whether an alarm is sent.
