A seizure's electrographic dynamics are characterised by its spatiotemporal evolution, also termed dynamical "pathway" and the time it takes to complete that pathway, which results in the seizure's duration. Both seizure pathways and…

Epilepsy affects more than 50 million people worldwide, making it one of the world's most prevalent neurological diseases. The main symptom of epilepsy is seizures, which occur abruptly and can cause serious injury or death. The ability to…
