Human absence epilepsies.

Abstract

A historical review of the concept of absence seizures. Their clinical features are very suggestive but a diagnosis made solely on clinical grounds is not always safe. Comparable pitfalls exist in the interpretation of EEG patterns. Absence seizures belong to several epileptic syndromes. They are briefly described.

A Kalman filter based methodology for EEG spike enhancement.

In this work, we present a methodology for spike enhancement in electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings. Our approach takes advantage of the non-stationarity nature of the EEG signal using a time-varying autoregressive model. The time-varying coefficients of autoregressive model are estimated using the Kalman filter. The results show considerable improvement in signal-to-noise ratio and significant reduction of the number of false positives.

Visual evoked potential in the newborn: does it have predictive value?

We reviewed studies on the predictive value of visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in the newborn. VEPs demonstrated a good correlation with neurodevelopmental outcome in full-term infants with birth asphyxia. However, their prognostic value in preterm infants is controversial. In preterm infants, most studies showed high specificities for neurodevelopmental outcome, but some studies demonstrated lower sensitivities.
