Brain temperature increases prior to EEG seizure onset in patients with focal seizures. Noninvasive detection with ear thermometry

Key Points

• Brain temperature rises before the onset of EEG seizures, indicating a crucial physiological change.
• Temperature changes were detected noninvasively using ear thermometry, enhancing monitoring capabilities.
• Analysis focused on patients with focal seizures to identify patterns in thermal activity associated with seizures.
• Findings support the potential of brain temperature as an early indicator for seizure detection, inviting further research.
