About this study

The purpose of this study is to passively collect data on body movements, heart rate, breathing, and sleep physiology using radio signal analysis in subjects in their home environment to determine if analysis of the radio signal data (as recorded by the Emerald device) may be eventually used to detect/predict nocturnal seizures.
