A study was made of 275 patients presenting with suspected epilepsy after the age of 20 years. In 122 it was concluded that the attacks were non-epileptic. In 60 others cerebral pathology was found. If the EEG was visibly abnormal the risk of cerebral pathology was 8 times greater than when the record was normal. The EEGs were also assessed by an automatic pattern recognition technique, which classified them as abnormal by reference to a control population of 300 volunteers. 90% of EEGs from patients with pathology were classified as abnormal and, conversely, 86% of patients with abnormal records (as assessed by the automatic analysis) had pathology.
对275例20岁以后出现疑似癫痫症状的患者进行了一项研究。其中122例被判定发作并非癫痫性的。另外60例发现有脑部病变。如果脑电图明显异常，出现脑部病变的风险比记录正常时高8倍。脑电图还通过自动模式识别技术进行评估，该技术通过参照300名志愿者的对照人群将脑电图分类为异常。有病变患者的脑电图90%被分类为异常，相反，记录异常（通过自动分析评估）的患者中有86%有病变。
