Within-individual variability of health indicators measured over time is becoming commonly used to inform about disease progression. Simple summary statistics (e.g. the standard deviation for each individual) are often used but they are not…
Electroencephalography (EEG) signals contain rich temporal-spectral structure but are difficult to model due to noise, subject variability, and multi-scale dynamics. Lightweight deep learning models have shown promise, yet many either rely…
Importance: Many individuals with drug-resistant epilepsy continue to have seizures after resective surgery. Accurate identification of focal brain abnormalities is essential for successful neurosurgical intervention. Current clinical…
Mediation analysis has become a widely used method for identifying the pathways through which an independent variable influences a dependent variable via intermediate mediators. However, limited research addresses the case where mediators…
Background: Recent systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) revealed a decrease in placebo annualized relapse rates (ARR) over the past two decades. Furthermore, regression to the mean…
This proposal is motivated by an analysis of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), which aims to investigate the role of loneliness in explaining the negative impact of hearing loss on dementia. The methodological challenges that…
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…
Epilepsy and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures often present with similar seizure-like manifestations but require fundamentally different management strategies. Misdiagnosis is common and can lead to prolonged diagnostic delays,…
Continuum emission, also called white-light emission (WLE), and permanent changes of the magnetic field ($\Delta{B}_{{\rm{LOS}}}$) are often observed during solar flares. But their relation and their precise mechanisms are still unknown. We…
Time irreversibility (temporal asymmetry) is one of fundamental properties that characterize the nonlinearity of complex dynamical processes, and our brain is a typical complex dynamical system manifested with nonlinearity. Two…
Epilepsy is a neurological condition such that it affects the brain and the nervous system. It is characterized by recurrent seizures, which are physical reactions to sudden, usually brief, excessive electrical discharges in a group of…
Recent studies have shown that seizures can spread and terminate across brain areas via a rich diversity of spatiotemporal patterns. In particular, while the location of the seizure onset area is usually in-variant across seizures in a same…
Musical large-scale form is investigated using an Electronic Dance Music (EDM) piece fed into a Finite-Difference Time Domain (FDTD) physical model of the cochlear which again inputs into an Impulse-Pattern Formulation (IPF) brain model. In…
Background Seizure severity can change from one seizure to the next within individual people with epilepsy. It is unclear if and how seizure severity is modulated over longer timescales. Characterising seizure severity variability over time…
Microscopic diffusion anisotropy ({\mu}A) has been recently gaining increasing attention for its ability to decouple the average compartment anisotropy from orientation dispersion. Advanced diffusion MRI sequences, such as double diffusion…
Epilepsy is a highly prevalent brain condition with many serious complications arising from it. The majority of patients which present to a clinic and undergo electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring would be unlikely to experience seizures…
The Mahalanobis distance is commonly used in multi-object trackers for measurement-to-track association. Starting with the original definition of the Mahalanobis distance we review its use in association. Given that there is no principle in…
Multitime correlation functions provide useful probes for the ensembles of trajectories underlying the stochastic dynamics of complex systems. These can be obtained by measuring their optical response to sequences of ultrashort optical…
The diagnosis of epilepsy generally includes a visual inspection of EEG recorded data by the Neurologist, with the purpose of checking the occurrence of transient waveforms called interictal epileptiform discharges. These waveforms have…
The identification of abnormal electrographic activity is important in a wide range of neurological disorders, including epilepsy for localising epileptogenic tissue. However, this identification may be challenging during non-seizure…
