Seizure Severity Score
Modified Racine scale classification per event
Automated seizure staging and severity scoring for epilepsy, kindling, and anticonvulsant research.
Metrics automatically extracted by ConductVision.
Modified Racine scale classification per event
Total time in ictal state
Number of discrete seizure events
Time from stimulus to seizure onset
Recovery period duration after seizure
Acceleration magnitude during seizure
Time spent in each Racine stage
Seizure behavior follows the Racine scale — from behavioral arrest and facial automatisms (Stage 1–2) through forelimb clonus (Stage 3) to rearing with falling (Stage 4) and generalized tonic-clonic seizures (Stage 5). Automated scoring eliminates observer bias and enables continuous 24/7 monitoring in kindling, chemoconvulsant, and anticonvulsant screening paradigms.
ConductVision detects seizure events by combining pose estimation with motion intensity analysis. The system identifies characteristic movement signatures — freezing followed by rhythmic limb movement, whole-body convulsion, and tonic extension — and maps them to Racine scale stages automatically, providing objective severity scoring across entire recording sessions.
