A method for detecting epileptic seizures.

A simple instrument for detecting seizures is described. Vibrations of the bed due to movements of the patient were converted to electrical oscillations by movement of a loudspeaker coil in reversed mode as transducer. To distinguish between normal movements and those caused by a seizure, three criteria were used--the amplitude of the oscillations, the time interval between them, and the duration of a burst of oscillations, each parameter compared with a reference value for each patient.
