Researchers have conducted a large-scale empirical study on deep learning models for detecting and grading the severity of seizures in rodents using synchronized video and EEG recordings. The study evaluated ten video architectures and seven EEG models on over 24,000 clips from 20 rats, finding high detection performance (macro-F1 scores of 0.968 for video and 0.974 for EEG) in session-exclusive evaluations. However, grading seizure severity proved more challenging, with five-class macro-F1 scores dropping to 0.475 for video and 0.404 for EEG in subject-exclusive evaluations, indicating difficulties in generalizing to unseen animals. The findings suggest that while current models are effective for seizure detection, further investigation is needed for robust severity grading, potentially through expert-assisted annotation workflows.
