Consciousness alteration in focal epilepsy is related to loss of signal complexity and information processing

Abstract Alteration of awareness is a main feature of focal epileptic seizures. In this work, we studied how the information contained in EEG signals was modified during temporal lobe seizures with altered awareness by using permutation entropy (PE) as a measure of the complexity of the signal. PE e...
