Device for detecting seizures?
Wed, 03/21/2007 - 14:15Topic: Complementary Therapies
Does anyone know anything about some sort of device that would detect seizures a couple minutes before they occur? What about the possibility of that instead of drug therapy?

I've heard that some dogs can detect seizures. However, that's usually a matter of seconds before, not minutes. http://www.epilepsy.com/articles/ar_1084289240.html
