a–c: A sample page of EEG during the patient's myoclonic seizures with a display speed of 30 mm/s s (patient 1). On an ipsilateral ears referential montage, the EEG shows generalized high-amplitude bursts of polyspikes superimposed with myogenic artifact. Surface electromyography (EMG) of the extensor muscles (X1–X2 and X3–X4) of forearms shows that myoclonic jerks are usually synchronous with the EEG abnormalities.
