When the device identifies pre-programmed epileptiform activity, it attempts to suppress the seizure by sending a small electrical stimulation through the leads to that portion of the brain.

He continued to work in this department and turned towards working with epilepsy as he developed computer-based clinical neurophysiological computing systems for detection and analysis of epileptiform EEG activity.
23.
Criminal, or most socially negative, epileptiform activities are kleptomania, pyromania, crime of passion, while the most socially positive are religious professions, health care provider, forensic pathology.
24.
*There are some studies that suggest exercise & ndash; in general and in moderation & ndash; can be beneficial in reducing epileptiform brain activity and the overall incidence of epileptic seizures.
25.
Recurrence is more likely if, despite seizure freedom, an electroencephalogram ( EEG ) shows epileptiform spikes, which indicate epileptic activity in the brain but are below the level that will cause a seizure.
26.
ECoG data is assessed with regard to ictal spike activity diffuse fast wave activity recorded during a seizure and interictal epileptiform activity ( IEA ), brief bursts of neuronal activity recorded between epileptic events.
27.
Ripples, however, are not entirely abnormal nor regular . " Ripples have been used to describe both abnormal activity associated with epileptiform sharp waves and normal behaviors such as physiological sharp waves and memory consolidation ."
28.
He was diagnosed by a Dr . Morshead, Dr . Brooks, and Dr . Stedman, and they believed the attack and a consequent attack to be an " epileptiform " seizure ( initially thought to be fainting, but Brooks changed his mind ).
