Abstract

Because epileptic seizures may come from different parts of the brain, symptoms can vary greatly between patients diagnosed with epilepsy. Common symptoms are: uncontrolled movements or spasms, convulsions, psychological sensations, loss of consciousness and more. These are usually caused by oscillations of the signals which are transmitted between neurons. The most common method for monitoring these types of seizures is the EEG. Although is very effective, the patients have to wear electrodes attached to their head, which causes discomfort and limits their movements. The main purpose of this paper is to establish if an electronic device attached to the patient hands or legs, can detect and monitor the periods of seizures. The device consists of a small microcontroller and a motion sensor which can detect and store any movement of the user.
