Validation of an automated seizure detection algorithm for term neonates

Highlights • Seizure detection algorithm (SDA) validated on unseen, unedited EEG of 70 neonates.• Results at SDA sensitivity settings of 0.5–0.3 acceptable for clinical use.• Seizure detection rate of 52.6–75.0%, false detection rate 0.04–0.36 FD/h.
