Claim One:
1. A method of detecting a neurological event following delivery of stimulation therapy, the method comprising: detecting a first neurological event using a first detection algorithm; delivering stimulation therapy in response to detecting the first neurological event; imposing a time delay before (1) detecting a subsequent neurological event using the first detection algorithm, and/or (2) delivering subsequent stimulation therapy based on the first detection algorithm; and detecting a post-stimulation neurological event during the time delay using a second detection algorithm different than the first detection algorithm, the second detection algorithm comprising initializing a post-stimulation detection counter, C, to an initial value, C 0 , acquiring a stream of EEG signal data values following the delivery of the stimulation therapy, comparing the signal data values to a level cutoff, decrementing C by a decrement amount if a given data value is below the level cutoff, incrementing C by an increment amount if a given data value is equal to or exceeds the level cutoff, comparing C to a post-stimulation detection threshold, PS th , and detecting the post-stimulation neurological event during the time delay if C equals or exceeds PS th .
