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…
Pathological hubs in the brain networks of epilepsy patients are hypothesized to drive seizure generation and propagation. In epilepsy-surgery patients, these hubs have traditionally been associated with the resection area (RA): the region…
In recent years, multiple noninvasive imaging modalities have been used to develop a better understanding of the human brain functionality, including positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography, and functional…
Aperiodic activity is a physiologically distinct component of the electrophysiological power spectrum. It is suggested to reflect the balance of excitation and inhibition in the brain, within selected frequency bands. However, the impact of…
Patients with idiopathic generalised epilepsy (IGE) typically have normal conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), hence MRI based diagnosis is challenging. Anatomical abnormalities underlying brain dysfunctions in IGE are unclear and…
Background: Investigation of the functioning of the brain in living systems has been a major effort amongst scientists and medical practitioners. Amongst the various disorder of the brain, epilepsy has drawn the most attention because this…
We localize the sources of brain activity of children with epilepsy based on EEG recordings acquired during a visual discrimination working memory task. For the numerical solution of the inverse problem, with the aid of age-specific MRI…
A method for the quantitative assessment of spatio-temporal structuring of brain activity is presented. This approach is employed in a longitudinal case study of a child with frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) and tested against an age-matched…
Inferring strength and direction of interactions from electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings is of crucial importance to improve our understanding of dynamical interdependencies underlying various physiologic and pathophysiologic…
Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) in functional neuroimaging techniques have improved in brain disorders, dysfunction studies via mapping the topology of the brain connections, i.e. connectopic mapping. Since, there are the slight…
Approximately over 50 million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy. Traditional diagnosis of epilepsy relies on tedious visual screening by highly trained clinicians from lengthy EEG recording that contains the presence of seizure (ictal)…
Epilepsy creates a persistent increase in the probability of spontaneous seizures. An ictal episode evolves due to acute disturbance of the fine-tuned balance between excitatory vs. inhibitory inputs within a neural network in favor of…
Epilepsy, affecting approximately 50 million people globally, is characterized by abnormal brain activity and remains challenging to treat. The diagnosis of epilepsy relies heavily on electroencephalogram (EEG) data, where specialists…
Epilepsy affects over 50 million people worldwide, and one-third of patients suffer drug-resistant seizures where surgery offers the best chance of seizure freedom. Accurate localization of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) relies on intracranial…
The electroencephalographic (EEG) data intracerebrally recorded from 20 epileptic humans with different brain origins of focal epilepsies or types of seizures, ages and sexes are investigated (nearly 700 million data). Multi channel…
Medically uncontrolled epileptic seizures affect nearly 15 million people worldwide, resulting in enormous economic and psychological burdens. Treatment of medically refractory epilepsy is essential for patients to achieve remission,…
Diagnosing epilepsy is a problem of crucial importance. So analysing EEG data is of much importance to help this diagnosis. Assembling the Feigenbaum graphs for EEG signals. And calculating their average clustering, average degree, and…
Epilepsy is one of the common neurological disorders characterized by recurrent and uncontrollable seizures, which seriously affect the life of patients. In many cases, electroencephalograms signal can provide important physiological…
Epileptogenic lesions have higher concentrations of sodium than does normal brain tissue. Such lesions are palpably recognized by a surgeon and then excised in order to eliminate epileptic seizures with their associated abnormal electrical…
Over 15 million epilepsy patients worldwide do not respond to drugs and require surgical treatment. Successful surgical treatment requires complete removal, or disconnection of the epileptogenic zone (EZ), but without a prospective…
