Childhood absence epilepsy is characterized by large and stereotyped 3 Hz spike-wave discharges recorded on scalp EEG often associated with brief episodes of lapse of consciousness. This study aims to detect the seizure onset, in childhood absence epilepsy, as early as possible. Interfering with absence seizures with sensory simulation has been shown to be possible on the condition that the stimulation occurs soon enough after the seizure onset, making early detection of spike-wave discharges a prerequisite for any viable closed-loop system of seizure prevention.We present four variations (two
