According to French scientists, dogs can apparently pick up the smell of an epileptic seizure. The findings, deduced by the team at The University of Rennes, can be of help in anticipating when one can have a seizure. Other than this, seven sweat samples were taken from patients who were either exercising, relaxing or having a seizure. The report states that two of the dogs could sniff the seizure sample in about two-thirds of the time, and the other three were completely accurate. “It could lead to significant improvements in terms of seizure detection or prediction systems,” the report adds.
