Clustering of recorded patient neurological activity to determine length of a neurological event

A computer-implemented method for determining a detection cluster that is associated with a neurological event of a nervous system disorder of a patient, the detection cluster being associated with at least one detection that exceeds a predetermined threshold of a measure for a first predetermined time duration, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) receiving a set of at least one signal;
• (b) determining an onset of the neurological event based on the set of at least one signal;
• (c) determining an end of a neurological event based on the set of at least one signal;
• and
• (d) clustering a set of at least a first detection and a second detection between the onset and the end of the neurological event, wherein the clustering comprises:
• (i) determining a time interval between the first detection and the second detection, wherein the first detection and the second detection are adjacent detections;
• and
• (ii) if the time interval is less than a second predetermined duration, clustering the first and second detections.

An apparatus for determining a detection cluster that is associated with a neurological event of a nervous system disorder, the detection cluster being associated with at least one detection that exceeds a predetermined threshold of a measure for a first predetermined time duration, the apparatus comprising in combination:

• a configuration of monitoring elements;
• and
• a processor that is coupled to the configuration of monitoring elements, the processor configured to perform the steps of:
• (a) receiving a set of at least one signal;
• (b) determining an onset of the neurological event based on the set of at least one signal;
• (c) determining an end of a neurological event based on the set of at least one signal, wherein the determining is farther based on all neurological signals of the set of at least one signal being less than the predetermined threshold for a second predetermined time duration;
• and
• (d) clustering a set of detections between the onset and the end of the neurological event.
