Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Interictal epileptiform discharges (IED) are hallmark biomarkers of epilepsy which are typically detected through visual analysis. Deep learning has shown potential in automating IED detection, which could reduce the burden of visual analysis in clinical practice. This is particularly relevant for ambulatory electroencephalograms (EEGs), as these entail longer review times.
