(J Neuroscience 42:264–27, 2022) Epilepsy analysis Hashimoto et al. investigated the coupling between low- frequency and high-frequency activities (HFA) during tonic-clonic seizures in a retrospective study. The authors found that the main low-frequency band modulating the HFA shifted from the θ band in the tonic ...
More than 250,000 people are living with epilepsy in Australia, of which 1 in 7 are having difficult-to-notice absence seizures. Such seizures are different from tonic-clonic (convulsive) seizures, and are typically shorter in length, with a brief loss of consciousness. Even though this type of ...
Using the SPEAC System, physicians can examine physiologic sEMG and audio data to quantify and qualify, or otherwise characterize a seizure and its phases (e.g. tonic or clonic phases)(Cardenas, 2018). ...
Additionally, the System will alarm to alert caregivers of sEMG signals that may be associated with generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizures, the most dangerous seizure type. In a clinically validated, published study, the SPEAC System’s GTC seizure detection algorithm demonstrated equivalent sensitivity ...
“The launch of the SeizureLink Alerting System gives people with generalized tonic-clonic seizures and their caregivers another tool to fight and protect themselves against the most dangerous epileptic seizures,” said Mike Girouard, President of Brain Sentinel Consumer Systems, LLC. ...
Girouard continued, “With this acquisition, Brain Sentinel can now offer a more complete line of technology for epilepsy patients--an FDA cleared, prescription diagnostic system for physician use, and now a seizure monitor for real time notification of seizure-like activity for non-prescription consumer ...
Through post-processing analysis of the sEMG record we can calculate the tonic and clonic phases of generalized tonic clonic seizures. We can also perform wavelet-transform analyses that may help a physician determine if events were epileptic or not. Also, the System may be able to provide an audio recording of ...
Brain Sentinel’s SPEAC® System demonstrated equivalence with the gold standard, video EEG, in detecting generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) using surface electromyography (sEMG). In a new study published on October 5, 2017, in the medical journal, Epilepsia, Brain Sentinel’s SPEAC® System which uses the ...
Syncope, sometimes associated with tonic-clonic movements and other seizure-like activity, has been reported following vaccination with GARDASIL. When syncope is associated with tonic-clonic movements, the activity is usually transient and typically responds to restoring cerebral perfusion. ...
