  • Seizure detection device and systems
    Patent number: 9737230
    Abstract: A neurostimulation device includes a plurality of electrodes adapted to be electrically connected to a subject to receive multichannel electrical signals from the subject's brain, a multichannel seizure detection unit electrically connected to the plurality of electrical leads to receive the multichannel electrical signals, and a neurostimulation unit in communication with the multichannel seizure detection unit. The plurality of electrodes are at least three electrodes such that the multichannel electrical signals are at least three channels of electrical signals, and the multichannel seizure detection unit detects a presence of a seizure based on multichannel statistics from the multichannel electrical signals including higher order combinations than two-channel combinations.
