Around 13:20 minutes of the recording, you mentioned sharp waves, with epileptogenic potential. But it could also be transient temporal sharps in sleep? What makes one say epileptiform?
Sharp morphology is one of a few features of an epileptiform discharge. "Epileptiform" implies potential to generate seizures. As I suppose you imply, presence of just a sharp wave does not immediately conclude epileptogenicity. The shape of the sharp wave, aftercoming slow waves, electric field and amplitude are some other features, but not a requirement to surmise that a sharp wave is epileptiform.
I've learnt so much from your eeg videos. I hope that there will be more and more meaningful videos in the future. Thanks a lot!!!!!
Thank you so much, we missed your eeg teachings, great video as always.
You are so welcome
Nice. I like that you also show "unclear" transients and discuss them. This is clinical reality.
This video is sooo good! I am surprised it has only 1.5K views! This channel needs more reach for sure!
Thank you very much! You are my teacher.
You are welcome!
Thank you so much
What actually is background
Is it total activity of the brain or just the posterior rhythm
