The CHB-MIT dataset is a dataset of EEG recordings from pediatric subjects with intractable seizures. Subjects were monitored for up to several days following withdrawal of anti-seizure mediation in order to characterize their seizures and assess their candidacy for surgical intervention. The dataset contains 23 patients divided among 24 cases (a patient has 2 recordings, 1.5 years apart). The dataset consists of 969 Hours of scalp EEG recordings with 173 seizures. There exist various types of seizures in the dataset (clonic, atonic, tonic). The diversity of patients (Male, Female, 10-22 years old) and different types of seizures contained in the datasets are ideal for assessing the performance of automatic seizure detection methods in realistic settings.
