Abstract
We present a new method to detect seizure onsets
of tonic-clonic epileptic seizures based on surface electromyography
(sEMG) data. The proposed method is generic and based
on a single channel making it ideal for a small detection or
monitoring device. The sEMG signal is high-pass filtered with
a Butterworth filter with a cut-off frequency of 150 Hz. The
number of zero-crossings with a hysteresis of ±50μV is the
only feature extracted. The number of counts in a window of
1 second and the number of windows to make a detection is
tested with a leave-one-out method. On 6 patients the method
performs with a sensitivity of 100%, a median latency of 7.6
seconds and a median false detection rate of 0.04/h.
