Neurologists' interpretations that a routine EEG shows interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) have high variability and low sensitivity in cohorts of idiopathic epilepsies.1 However, given the wide availability of EEG and the heterogeneous nature and observational criteria for behavioral diagnoses, identifying brain-based biomarkers such as IEDs could be helpful.
