Epileptic seizures are one of the most well-known dysfunctions of the nervous system. During a seizure, a highly synchronized behavior of neural activity is observed that can cause symptoms ranging from mild sensual malfunctions to the…
We provide an overview of the state-of-the-art for mathematical methods that are used to reconstruct brain activity from neurophysiological data. After a brief introduction on the mathematics of the forward problem, we discuss standard and…
An accurate seizure prediction system enables early warnings before seizure onset of epileptic patients. It is extremely important for drug-refractory patients. Conventional seizure prediction works usually rely on features extracted from…
In this chapter we review phenomenological models of seizure like activity. We discuss dynamical mechanisms for seizure onset and offset, preictal spikes, spike and wave complexes and status epilepticus, highlighting the role played by the…
Sepsis is a life-threatening and serious global health issue. This study combines knowledge with available hospital data to investigate the potential causes of Sepsis that can be affected by policy decisions. We investigate the underlying…
The study of thrombosis is crucial to understand and develop new therapies for diseases like deep vein thrombosis, diabetes related strokes, pulmonary embolism etc. The last two decades have seen an exponential growth in studies related to…
Objective: Epileptic seizures are relatively common in critically-ill children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and thus serve as an important target for identification and treatment. Most of these seizures have no…
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms and can spread through different ways. Mathematical models and computational simulation have been used extensively to investigate the transmission and spread of infectious…
Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder that affects millions of individuals globally, and continuous monitoring coupled with automated seizure detection appears as a necessity for effective patient treatment. To enable long-term care…
Human brain contains about 10 billion neurons, each of which has about 10~10,000 nerve endings from which neurotransmitters are released in response to incoming spikes, and the released neurotransmitters then bind to receptors located in…
Accurate classification of seizure types plays a crucial role in the treatment and disease management of epileptic patients. Epileptic seizure types not only impact the choice of drugs but also the range of activities a patient can safely…
The increasing technological advancements towards miniaturized physiological measuring devices have enabled continuous monitoring of epileptic patients outside of specialized environments. The large amounts of data that can be recorded with…
Epilepsy is typically diagnosed through electroencephalography (EEG) and long-term video-EEG (vEEG) monitoring. The manual analysis of vEEG recordings is time-consuming, necessitating automated tools for seizure detection. Recent…
Epileptic seizures are transient neurological events characterized by abnormal and excessive neuron activity in the brain, which are often associated with measurable disturbances in the cardiovascular system. Traditionally,…
The appearance of a new dangerous and contagious disease requires the development of a drug therapy faster than what is foreseen by usual mechanisms. Many drug therapy developments consist in investigating through different clinical trials…
Sequential neuronal activity underlies a wide range of processes in the brain. Neuroscientific evidence for neuronal sequences has been reported in domains as diverse as perception, motor control, speech, spatial navigation and memory.…
Seizures are one of the defining symptoms in patients with epilepsy, and due to their unannounced occurrence, they can pose a severe risk for the individual that suffers it. New research efforts are showing a promising future for the…
The time series captured by a single scalp electrode (plus the reference electrode) of refractory epileptic patients is used to forecast seizures susceptibility. The time series is preprocessed, segmented, and each segment transformed into…
Existing studies consider Alzheimer's disease (AD) a comorbidity of epilepsy, but also recognize epilepsy to occur more frequently in patients with AD than those without. The goal of this paper is to understand the relationship between…
The introduction of computational models in cardiovascular sciences has been progressively bringing new and unique tools for the investigation of the physiopathology. Together with the dramatic improvement of imaging and measuring devices…
