[Comment] The future of seizure detection

In clinical practice, we rely on seizure diaries of our patients to manage epilepsy. In their Personal View1 in The Lancet Neurology, Christian Elger and Christian Hoppe review the literature on the accuracy with which patients with epilepsy document their seizures. Elger and Hoppe conclude that under-reporting of seizures is an important clinical problem; less than half of the patients could accurately document their seizures, and more than half of all seizures captured during long-term video-electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring were unreported.
