Purpose: The burden of reviewing long-term scalp electroencephalography (EEG) is not much alleviated by automated spike detection if thousands of events need to be inspected and mentally classified by the reviewer. This study investigated a novel technique of clustering and 24-h hyper-clustering on top of automated detection to assess whether fast review of focal interictal spike types was feasible and comparable to the spikes types observed during routine EEG review in epilepsy monitoring.

Methods: Spike detection used a transformation of scalp EEG into 29 regional source activities and adaptive thresholds to increase sensitivity.
