Predicting the cause of seizures using features extracted from interactions with a virtual agent

Transient Loss of Consciousness (TLOC) is a time-limited loss of awareness characterised by abnormal motor control, loss of responsiveness, amnesia, and a complete recovery. Over 90% of TLOC presentations are explained by epilepsy, functional/dissociative seizures (FDS) or syncope [5]. A thorough analysis of the medical history by an expert is currently the most effective differential diagnostic method [21] because patients are typically asymptomatic on presentation and investigations after the event are of limited value.
