Epileptic seizures show a certain degree of rhythmicity, a feature of heuristic and practical interest. In this paper, we introduce a simple model of this type of behavior, and suggest a measure for detecting and quantifying it. To evaluate our method, we develop a set of test segments that incorporate rhythmicity features, and present results from the application of this measure to test segments. We then analyze electrocorticogram segments containing seizures, and present two examples. Finally, we discuss the similarity of our method to techniques for detecting unstable periodic orbits in chaotic time series.

  19. 19. The gold standard for analysis of ECoG and EEG recordings is expert visual inspection, and the standard descriptor of electrographic activity refers to visually apparent features. However, many statistics used in automated EEG/ECoG analysis, particularly those derived from nonlinear dynamics, are not easily translated to these visually-apparent features. Consequently, their electrographic relevance can be difficult to determine. Google Scholar
