Where can I find interictal epileptiform EEG data

Hi, guys! I am a beginner in spike detection for epilepsy diagnosis. Now, I am stuck in finding the interictal epileptiform EEG data for testing detection algorithm. So, where can I find this kind of data from internet? Thanks a lot!

Hello,

You could use the following dataset, with the explicit agreement of the authors:

I am not aware of any other publicly available database of epilectic recordings.

Francois, thank you very much for your help!

Hi, Francois. Again, thanks for your reply! I have downloaded the dataset, and imported the spike marker successfully. However, the spike marker from “sample_epilepsy/data/tutorial_spikes.txt” in Matlab is a vertical line. So how can I confirm which channel of EEG has spikes at certain time?

The channels that show the spikes are not specified in this file.
