Abstract
We use recurrence quantification, which does not require assumptions about stationarity, length or noise, and apply it to epileptic EEG activity. We f ound that both preictal and EEG segments fret: of seizure activity exhibit significant transients; but preictal transients consistently occur in a con text of unstable EEG activity.
