"we hypothesized that there may be a seizure-specific olfactory component that would be common to different individuals and types of seizures" Vague & untestable. This is not a scientific hypothesis because it's not falsifiable. It's missing a suggested explanation of the phenomenon. What happens between the seizure and the smell? Magic? Fairies? How could a seizure cause an odor? The study fails to establish that the dogs are relying exclusively on odor. For all we know there could something else happening. For example, we know dogs can sense magnetic fields. What if the seizure patient releases some kind of ferromagnetic material which the dogs can detect magnetically?
