Epileptic seizures are characterized by abnormal and excessive neural activity, where cortical network dynamics seem to become unstable. However, most of the time, during seizure-free periods, cortex of epilepsy patients shows perfectly…
Objective: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by the occurrence of spontaneous seizures, which affects about one percent of the world's population. Most of the current seizure detection approaches strongly rely on…
Refractory epileptic patients can suffer a seizure at any moment. Seizure prediction would substantially improve their lives. In this work, based on scalp EEG and its transformation into images, the likelihood of an epileptic seizure…
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…
"Objective: The electrocardiogram (ECG) is currently the most widely used recording to diagnose cardiac disorders, including the most common supraventricular arrhythmia, such as atrial fibrillation (AF). However, different types of…
Epileptic seizure detection from EEG signals remains challenging due to the high dimensionality and nonlinear, potentially stochastic, dynamics of neural activity. In this work, we investigate whether features derived from topological data…
Peaks signify important events in a signal. In a pair of signals how peaks are occurring with mutual correspondence may offer us significant insights into the mutual interdependence between the two signals based on important events. In this…
The Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a sensitive diagnostic tool that is used to detect various cardiovascular diseases by measuring and recording the electrical activity of the heart in exquisite detail. A wide range of heart condition is…
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…
Recently Transformer and Convolution neural network (CNN) based models have shown promising results in EEG signal processing. Transformer models can capture the global dependencies in EEG signals through a self-attention mechanism, while…
This research aims to decode hand grasps from Electroencephalograms (EEGs) for dexterous neuroprosthetic development and Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) applications, especially for patients with motor disorders. Particularly, it focuses on…
Some techniques for the study of intermittency by means of wavelet transforms, are presented on an example of synthetic turbulent signal. Several features of the turbulent field, that cannot be probed looking at standard structure function…
Scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and intracranial EEG (iEEG) are vital for epilepsy diagnosis and treatment. Their unified analysis offers the potential to harness the complementary strengths of each modality but is challenging due to…
Epileptic biomarkers play a crucial role in identifying the origin of seizures, an essential aspect of pre-surgical planning for epilepsy treatment. These biomarkers can vary significantly over time. By studying these temporal fluctuations,…
Diagnosing epilepsy is challenging when routine EEGs lack interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs). Intermittent photic stimulation (IPS) and hyperventilation (HV) can increase diagnostic yield, but their interpretation is subjective. We…
Evoked EMG M-responses obtained from the thenar muscle in the palm by electrical stimulation of the median nerve demonstrate a well-established smooth bipolar shape for normal healthy subjects while kinks are observed in certain…
Epilepsy is a neurological disease characterized by recurrent and spontaneous seizures. It affects approximately 50 million people worldwide. In majority of the cases accurate diagnosis of the disease can be made without using any…
Epileptic seizures are one of the most crucial neurological disorders, and their early diagnosis will help the clinicians to provide accurate treatment for the patients. The electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are widely used for epileptic…
Epilepsy is recognised as a dynamic disease, where both seizure susceptibility and seizure characteristics themselves change over time. Specifically, we recently quantified the variable electrographic spatio-temporal seizure evolutions that…
Intracranial EEG (IEEG) is used for 2 main purposes, to determine: (1) if epileptic networks are amenable to focal treatment and (2) where to intervene. Currently these questions are answered qualitatively and sometimes differently across…
