Validation of non-invasive finite element method based localization of seizure onset zone in epilepsy using EEG-MEG [ 2009 - 2012 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Stephan Lau (Principal investigator)

Brief description 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.
