Funded Activity Summary

Epileptic seizures in the brain are often focal. If anti-epileptic drugs are ineffective, a deep brain stimulator may be implanted to abort seizures at their onset or the seizure tissue may be removed. This project aims to locate the seizure tissue from non-invasive EEG-MEG recordings of seizure-like brain activity using a realistic computer model of the electromagnetic fields in the brain. Knowing the location more exactly will improve the outcomes of deep brain stimulation and removal surgery.
