Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a noninvasive technique for exploring the spatiotemporal dynamics of brain networks with high temporal resolution as well good spatial capacities, thanks to relative insensitivity low skull conductivity. It tool choice both neuroscience research and clinical applications used routinely in epilepsy localizing sources epileptiform discharges. Still, capacity captur...

Animal studies and neuropsychological tests of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy have demonstrated the importance of human medial temporal lobes for memory formation. In addition, more recent studies have shown that the human hippocampal region is also involved in novelty detection. However, the exact contribution of the hippocampus proper to these processes is still unknown. To examine furt...

Classification of electroencephalography (EEG) is the most useful diagnostic and monitoring procedure for epilepsy study. A reliable algorithm that can be easily implemented is the key to this procedure. In this paper a novel signal feature extraction method based on dynamic principal component analysis and nonoverlapping moving window is proposed. Along with this new technique, two detection m...

Epilepsy is one of the major fields of application of EEG. Now a days, identification of epilepsy is accomplished manually by skilled neurologist. Those are very small in number. In this work, we propose a methodology for automatic detection of normal, interictal and ictal conditions from recorded of EEG signals. We used the wavelet transform for the feature extraction and obtained statistical ...

Proteus syndrome (PS) is an extremely rare and complex disorder. Approximately 200 cases have been reported, and it seems to affect people of all ethnic and racial groups. PS is characterized by segmental overgrowth of multiple tissues and organs including vascular malformations, lipomatous overgrowth, hyperpigmentation, and various types of nevi. We hereby present a 7-year-old boy who presente...

About 80% of paediatric intractable epilepsy patients have accompanying cortical dysplasia. However, there are no established methods for noninvasive detection of cortical dysplasia. This paper proposes a novel method for automatically detecting cortical dysplasia using paediatric MR images. In order to evaluate cortical dysplasia in MR images, texture features and fractal dimension were extrac...

Surgery in the management of children with epilepsy is not new. Murray Falconer, a neurosurgeon at the Maudsley Hospital, recognised that children as well as adults may benefit from resective surgery, but the age range of his patients did not include the very young1. Traditionally, focal seizures have been more difficult to diagnose in the young child, both clinically and electrographically, an...

Background: Epilepsy is a severe disorder of the central nervous system that predisposes the person to recurrent seizures. Fifty million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy; after Alzheimer’s and stroke, it is the third widespread nervous disorder.Objective: In this paper, an algorithm to detect the onset of epileptic seizures based on the analysis of brain electrical signals (EEG) has b...

Background: Depression is the most common comorbid in people with epilepsy (PWE). Detection of depression PWE not a routine examination at neurology clinic because it takes long time. The education Acehnese regarding still limited, leading to discrimination and stigma society. It easy carry out examinations, diagnosis often overlooked. objective this study was screen describe characteristics Ac...
