The study makes a significant contribution to the ongoing efforts to improve access to real-time EEG acquisition and reduce time to diagnosis

• The novel use of a simplified EEG montage paired with sonification system may be valuable in the acute assessment of patients with suspected NCSz, leading to more accurate diagnostic decision-making and increasing physicians’ confidence in their diagnostic and therapeutic plans.
• A simplified system like “Rapid-EEG” appears to be a way to expand EEG monitoring to ICUs without expertise in EEG acquisition and interpretation
