Performance Reassessment of a Real‐time Seizure‐detection Algorithm on Long ECoG Series

Summary:  Purpose: Automated seizure detection and blockage requires highly sensitive and specific algorithms. This study reassessed the performance of an algorithm by using a more extensive database than that of a previous study and its suitability for safety/efficacy closed‐loop studies to block seizures in humans.
