Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain's nerves as a result of excessive brain cell activity. It is generally characterized by the recurrent unprovoked seizures. This neurological abnormality can be detected and evaluated using Electroencephalogram (EEG...

AIMS: To predict the probability of a seizure-free (SF) state in patients with epilepsy (PWEs) after treatment with levetiracetam and to identify the clinical and electroencephalographic (EEG) factors that affect outcomes.
During seizures, a myriad of clinical manifestations may occur. The analysis of these signs, known as seizure semiology, gives clues to the underlying cerebral networks involved. When patients with drug-resistant epilepsy are monitored to assess thei...

Interictal high-frequency oscillations (HFO) are a promising biomarker that can help define the seizure onset zone (SOZ) and predict the surgical outcome after the epilepsy surgery. The utility of HFO in planning the surgery, though, is unclear. Reas...
OBJECTIVES: An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is the result of co-operative actions performed by brain cells. In other words, it can be defined as the time course of extracellular field potentials that are generated due to the synchronous action of cells...
OBJECTIVEStereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) has increased in popularity for localization of epileptogenic zones in drug-resistant epilepsy because safety, accuracy, and efficacy have been well established in both adult and pediatric populations. Dev...
OBJECTIVE: We evaluated whether deep learning applied to whole-brain presurgical structural connectomes could be used to predict postoperative seizure outcome more accurately than inference from clinical variables in patients with mesial temporal lob...

High-frequency oscillations (HFOs) in the electroencephalogram (EEG) are thought to be a promising marker for epileptogenicity. A number of automated detection algorithms have been developed for reliable analysis of invasively recorded HFOs. However,...
In this study, we employed a kernel support vector machine to predict epilepsy localization and lateralization for patients with a diagnosis of epilepsy (n = 228). We assessed the accuracy to which indices of verbal memory, visual memory, verbal flue...
Exploring brain networks is an essential step towards understanding functional organization of the brain, which needs characterization of linear and nonlinear connections based on measurements like EEG or MEG. Conventional measures of connectivity ar...
