A method for improved seizure detection includes capturing neural data for a first set of brain regions calculating inter-region correlations between pairs of the first set of brain regions from the neural data detecting a period of hyposynchrony from the inter-region correlations after detecting the period of hyposynchrony, detecting a period of hypersynchrony from the inter-region correlations and based on a transition from the period of hyposynchrony to the period of hypersynchrony, detecting a first seizure.
