Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Automating detection of Interictal Epileptiform Discharges (IEDs) in electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings can reduce the time spent on visual analysis for the diagnosis of epilepsy. Deep learning has shown potential for this purpose, but the scarceness of expert annotated data creates a bottleneck in the process.
