Background: Self-recorded EEG by patients at home might present a viable alternative to inpatient epilepsy evaluations.

Objectives And Methods: We developed a novel telemonitoring system comprising seamlessly integrated hard- and software with automated AI-based EEG analysis.

Results: The first complete study participation results demonstrate feasibility and clinical utility.

Objective: Focal seizure symptoms (FSS) and focal interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) are common in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs), but dedicated studies systematically quantifying them both are lacking. We used automatic IED detection and localization algorithms and correlated these EEG findings with clinical FSS for the first time in IGE patients.

Methods: 32 patients with IGEs undergoing long-term video EEG monitoring were systematically analyzed regarding focal vs.

Background: Exchange of EEG data among institutions is complicated due to vendor-specific proprietary EEG file formats. The DICOM standard, which has long been used for storage and exchange of imaging studies, was expanded to store neurophysiology data in 2020.

Objectives: To implement DICOM as an interoperable and vendor-independent storage format for EEG recordings in the Clinic Hietzing.

Ultra-long-term electroencephalographic (EEG) registration using minimally invasive low-channel devices is an emerging technology to assess sporadic seizure events. Highly sensitive automatic seizure detection algorithms are needed for semiautomatic evaluation of these prolonged recordings. We describe the design and validation of a deep neural network for two-channel seizure detection.

EEG monitoring of early brain function and development in neonatal intensive care units may help to identify infants with high risk of serious neurological impairment and to assess brain maturation for evaluation of neurodevelopmental progress. Automated analysis of EEG data makes continuous evaluation of brain activity fast and accessible. A convolutional neural network (CNN) for regression of EEG maturational age of premature neonates from marginally preprocessed serial EEG recordings is proposed.
