“…At least eight previous publications have presented methods for automated segmentation of burst suppression EEG patterns, based on a variety of EEG features and classification methods, including the nonlinear energy operator, spectral feature clustering, and neural-network classification of adaptive Hilbert-transformed EEG features (Thomsen et al, 1991; Lipping et al, 1995; Arnold et al, 1996; Griessbach et al, 1997; Sherman et al, 1997; Leistritz et al, 1999; Atit et al, 1999). These prior efforts are summarized and improved on in Särkelä et al (2002), the method most closely related to our method.…”
