Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The seizure detection and warning system is an ambulatory system designed to monitor and analyze EMG data to detect the onset of GTC seizures and to provide a warning signal to alert caregivers that a seizure is occurring.

5. Can understand and sign written informed consent, or will have a parent or a legally authorized representative (LAR) who can do so, prior to the performance of any study assessments.
6. Subject and/or Primary Caregiver must be competent to follow all study procedures.
7. Is able to read, speak, and understand English or has a LAR that does so.
8. Subject/LAR consents to the use of vEEG files, including video/audio recordings, for purposes of this research study.

Exclusion Criteria
