Abstract:
A device for detection of neurological event activity in a patient's brain comprising:at least one brain electrode configured to monitor brain electrical signals and produce an output, each said brain electrode being positionable to a position relative to a patient's brain, at least one processed display channel processor configured to produce at least one processed display channel, said at least one processed display channel being a signal produced by signal processing by said at least one processed display channel processor, of a digital signal related to said output from said at least one brain electrode, the signal processing having one or more parameters; a neurological event detector configured to process the at least one processed display channel with at least one detector algorithm to detect neurological event activity based upon i.) the brain electrical signals received by the at least one brain electrode, ii.) the position of each brain electrode, iii.) the parameters of the signal processing used to create the at least one processed display channel, iv.) and at least one detector algorithms having at least one detector parameter customizeable for each patient.
