Anticipation of Epileptic Seizures from Standard EEG Recordings
Lancet 357:183-188,160, Le Van Quyen,M.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
New methods derived from non-linear analysis of intracranial recordings permit the anticipation of an epileptic seizure several minutes before the seizure. Nevertheless, anticipation of seizures based on standard scalp-electroencephalograp hical (EEG) signals has not been reported yet. The accessibility to preictal changes from standard EEGs is essential for expanding the clinical applicability of these methods. Scalp-EEG recordings retain sufficient dynamical information which can be use d for the analysis of preictal changes leading to seizures. Seizure anticipation strategies in real-time can now be envisaged for diverse clinical applications, such as devices for patient warning, for efficacy of ictal-single photon emission computed to mography procedures, and eventual treatment interventions for preventing seizures.
