Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: We will be recruiting individuals with epilepsy AND individuals with typical neurological functioning. For the epilepsy group: -clinically confirmed diagnosis of epilepsy -at least 5 years of age -Hair in braids or long enough to be braided For the non-epilepsy group: -At least 5 years of age -Hair in braids or long enough to be braided

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: -Allergic to EEG gels, based on self-report -Other health conditions that contraindicate an EEG, such as wounds or sutures on the scalp, or lice -Individuals who are not able to sit still for long enough to have EEG applied

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Since this is an observational study about Sevo electrodes, all methods are post-intervention. Our outcome measure is digital data after 1 hour of EEG once the electrodes are placed on the scalp. We will use this data to determine EEG quality compared between Sevo electrodes and traditional electrodes, using statistical methods such as t-test and ANOVA on Fourier-transformed channel data.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Since this is an observational study about Sevo electrodes performance, all methods are post-intervention. Our outcome measure is digital data from 1 hour of EEG after the electrodes are placed on the scalp. We will use this data to determine EEG quality compared between Sevo electrodes and traditional electrodes, using statistical methods such as t-test and ANOVA on Fourier-transformed channel data.
