Summary:
A methodology for detecting, identifying, and defining nonconvulsive seizures in individuals with acute brain injury is introduced. Specifically, beginning with an EEG signal, the power spectrum is estimated yielding a multivariate time series which is then analyzed using empirical orthogonal functional analysis. This methodology allows for identification and observation of seizures that are otherwise only identifiable though expert analysis of the raw EEG.
