Brief Summary

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

The goal of this study is to develop a comfortable system that uses a wearable eye-tracker similar to eyeglasses to assist people with epilepsy in counting and measuring the severity of seizures. Participants will wear an eye-tracker during a routine EEG.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Seizures can be difficult to detect outside of the hospital even with careful observation by a caregiver. EEG is the best method that we have to detect seizures- but it is uncomfortable for long term use outside of the hospital. The goal of this study is to develop a comfortable system that uses a wearable eye-tracker similar to eyeglasses to assist people with epilepsy in counting and measuring the severity of seizures. People participating in this study will have a routine EEG performed while an eye tracker measures eye movements. After the EEG is complete the researchers will compare the eye movements to the EEG to develop a software program that can detect seizures from eye movements.

Absence Seizures

Participants with absence seizures will have their eye movements compared to the EEG recording.

Eye movement analysis

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Eye movements will be analyzed to identify if seizures are present and compared to the EEG read

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Provision of signed and dated informed consent form- per local IRB
2. Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures including the clicker test and availability for the duration of the study
3. Male or female, aged 4-100
4. Experience known typical absence seizures as defined by the ILAE 2017 classification or referred to EEG lab for staring spell or concern for absence seizure

a. This will allow for inclusion of children and adults across the entire spectrum of disease states including new diagnosis (medication naive), medication responsive and non-medication responsive
5. Scheduled for clinical EEG observation

Exclusion Criteria
