Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the central nervous system. While its effects are different for each person, they mostly include abnormal behaviour, periods of loss awareness and seizures. There various traditional methods used to analyse EEG signals epilepsy detection, which concludes be time-consuming. Recently, several automated seizure detection frameworks using machine le...

Closed-loop neurostimulation devices that stimulate the brain to treat epileptic seizures have shown great promise in treating more than a third of the 2 million people with epilepsy in the United States alone whose seizures are currently nonresponsive to pharmaceutical treatment. Seizure detection algorithms facilitate responsive therapeutic intervention that is believed to increase the effica...

The electroencephalogram (EEG) signal plays an important role in the detection of epilepsy. The EEG recordings of the ambulatory recording systems generate very lengthy data and the detection of the epileptic activity requires a timeconsuming analysis of the entire length of the EEG data by an expert. The aim of this work is to develop a new method for automatic detection of EEG patterns using ...

Electroencephalography (EEG) is an important tool for studying the human brain activity and epileptic processes in particular. EEG signals provide important information about epileptogenic networks that must be analyzed and understood before the initiation of therapeutic procedures. Very small variations in EEG signals depict a definite type of brain abnormality. The challenge is to design and ...

Magnetic resonance imaging is the main structural imaging in epilepsy. In patients with focal seizures, detection (and characterization) of a structural lesion consistent with electroclinical data allows therapeutic decisions without having to resort to other more expensive or invasive diagnostic procedures. The identification of some lesions may provide prognostic value, as in the case of Mesi...

Brain tumor-related epilepsy is a common complication of primary and metastatic brain tumors with seizures often representing the first manifestation of the tumor. The size and location of the tumor can make detection of epileptiform discharges on scalp electroencephalogram and safe surgical resection challenging. We describe a case of a patient with glioblastoma multiforme presenting as domina...

Approximately 30 percent of epilepsy patients suffer from refractory temporal lobe epilepsy which is commonly treated with resection of the epileptogenic tissue. However, surgical treatment presents many challenges in locating the epileptogenic focus and thus not all patients become seizure-free following surgery. Advances in techniques can lead to improved localization of the epileptogenic zon...

PURPOSE To assess whether the key informant method (KIM) is an effective method to identify children with disabling sensory or physical impairments, or epilepsy (tonic-clonic seizures), in a low-income setting. METHODS In one subdistrict each, the Key Informants (KIs) were trained to recognize children with visual impairment, hearing impairment, physical impairment and epilepsy, respectively....

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Voxel-mirrored intrinsic functional connectivity allows the depiction of interhemispheric homotopic connections in the human brain, whereas time-shift intrinsic functional connectivity allows the detection of the extent of brain injury by measuring hemodynamic properties. We combined time-shift voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity analyses to investigate the alterations ...

PURPOSE Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) usually had an initial precipitating injury in early childhood. However, epilepsy does not develop in all children who have undergone an early insult. As in patients, the consequences of the lithium-pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE) are age dependent, and only a subset of 21-day-old rats will develop epilepsy. Thus with magnetic reson...
