Bursts of seizures in long‐term recordings of human focal epilepsy

We report on temporally clustered seizures detected from continuous long‐term ambulatory human electroencephalographic data. The objective was to investigate short‐term seizure clustering, which we have termed bursting, and consider implications for patient care, seizure prediction, and evaluating therapies.
