Patent ID: 8068903

Claim:
A computer-readable medium programmed with instructions for performing a method of predicting a seizure event, the medium comprising instructions for causing a programmable processor to: acquire an electroencephalograph (EEG) signal; extract one or more EEG features from the EEG signal; acquire a cardiovascular (CV) signal; extract one or more CV features from the CV signal; derive a discriminant measure from the EEG and CV features, including comparing at least one of the EEG and CV features to features extracted from a reference seizure to form at least one similarity measure, and including comparing at least one of the EEG and CV features to one or more features extracted from a reference baseline to form at least one dissimilarity measure, the discriminant measure being a logical function of the at least one similarity measure and the at least one dissimilarity measure; compare the discriminant measure to a predetermined threshold; and predict a seizure event when the discriminant measure exceeds the predetermined threshold.
