Figure 1. BSSS (aka BETS) on ipsilateral ear reference (left) and longitudinal bipolar montage (right). Note steep descending slope of low-amplitude spike and small after-coming slow wave, particularly at T7 to TP11. BSSS are a common feature in adult EEGs during drowsiness and sleep. Note the typical steep descending waveform limb and lack of background disturbance. Copyright ©2016 by American Epilepsy Society.
