(C) Bilateral PLEDs (rhythmic 1 Hz spike-and-wave discharges) in a 12-year-old girl. This pattern was seen following convulsive status when the patient was still unresponsive.

Ictal EEG features are numerous, and they include 3 Hz spike-and-wave discharges, as well as rhythmical slowing, spike-and-slow waves, polyspikes and diffuse background slowing (Figure 1).

Absence seizures are characterized by sudden loss of consciousness and interruption of ongoing motor activities for a brief period of time lasting few to several seconds and up to half a minute. Due ...

The human electroencephalogram (EEG) was discovered by the German psychiatrist, Hans Berger, in 1929. Its potential applications in epilepsy rapidly became clear, when Gibbs and colleagues in Boston ...

A joint study has evaluated the usability of a compact EEG device (BrainStatus) developed by Bittium Biosignals from Oulu ...

Underwater electrical discharges provide a compelling method for generating intense shock waves and complex fluid dynamics in aquatic environments.

By adjusting these internal conductances, neurons can shift their resonance preferences between theta and gamma waves, and between burst and single-spike firing.

In a new study, researchers demonstrate long-term, non-invasive monitoring of blood sodium levels using a system that combines optoacoustic detection with terahertz spectroscopy. The paper is ...

Workers are struggling to cope with a “seemingly infinite workday,” involving an increasing load of meetings scheduled at 8 p.m. or later and a near-constant stream of interruptions ...

Extreme heat doesn't just take its toll on our bodies: it also silently affects our mental health. A recent study shows that temperature spikes could trigger or worsen certain mental disorders, a ...
