Abstract
A system and method for distinguishing an epileptic event from a syncope event that includes sensing a signal, generating sensed intervals in response to the sensed signal, generating an indication signal in response to an occurrence of an event, determining a marginality in response to the generated indication signal and the sensed intervals, and determining the event as being one of the epileptic event and the syncope event in response to the determined marginality.
