In-depth performance analysis of an EEG based neonatal seizure detection algorithm

Highlights • A novel method for in-depth analysis of neonatal seizure detection algorithms is proposed.• The analysis estimated how seizure features are exploited by automated detectors.• This method led to significant improvement of the ANSeR algorithm.
