The overlap of the ictal and interictal probability density functions was high enough to preclude effective seizure detection based solely on changes in EEG synchronization. In this work, we investigate EEG phase synchronization in patients with CAE/JAE and healthy subjects to explore the possibility of using the wavelet phase synchronization index to detect seizures and quantify their disorganization (fragmentation). All the absence detection algorithms proposed so far have been derived from the properties of individual SWDs. Such seizures are the most compelling examples of pathological neuronal hypersynchrony. 8Center for Nonlinear Science, University of North Texas, Denton, TX, United StatesĪbsence seizures-generalized rhythmic spike-and-wave discharges (SWDs) are the defining property of childhood (CAE) and juvenile (JAE) absence epilepsies.7Department of Physiology and Pathophysiology, Medical University of Wroclaw, Wrocław, Poland.
