Objective: Accurate prediction of electrographic seizure onset may reduce injuries and improve quality of life in pharmaco-resistant epileptics. However, because sub-clinical, far out-number clinical seizures, indiscriminate issuance of warnings may have a paralyzing effect on these patients. This study investigates the predictability of ictal cognitive dysfunction. Methods: Latency and percentage of correct responses to a reaction time test triggered by automated seizure detections were compared to those obtained inter-ictally in 14 subjects undergoing surgery evaluation. Since accurate prediction of seizures is elusive, early detection was used, as it indirectly but reliably investigates for the existence of a cognitive pre-ictal state. Results: Significant differences between ictal and inter-ictal cognitive performance were not uncovered until late into the temporal evolution of focal'' seizures. Conclusions: These observations suggest that cognitive dysfunction is unpredictable in seizures originating from discrete cortical regions, as the transition into unawareness seems abrupt. Significance: Prediction of electrographic seizure onsets with worthwhile accuracy would likely result in large numbers of daily warnings, the great majority for sub-clinical seizures. This outcome would considerably increase, without safety justification, patients' psychological burden inherent to each forecast, thus further diminishing quality of life.
