An automated AI model trained to read EEGs in patients with suspected epilepsy is just as accurate as trained neurologists, new data suggests.

Date Time 3-D ‘Heat Map’ Animation Shows How Seizures Spread in Brains of Patients with Epilepsy For 29 years, from the time she was 12, Rashetta Higgins had been wracked by epileptic seizures – as many as 10 a week – in her sleep, at school and at work. She lost four jobs over 10 years. One seizure brought her down as she was climbing concrete stairs, leaving a bloody scene and a bad gash near her eye. A seizure struck in 2005 while she was waiting at the curb for a bus. “I fell down right when the bus was pulling up,” she says. “My friend grabbed me just in time. I fell a lot....

Surface brain waves tapped at UC San Francisco Flexible thin-film electrodes developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have been used at UC San Francisco to record human  brain activity on the surface of the brain’s hippocampus area. “We’ve developed an enabling technology for demonstrating a phenomenon that wasn’t really possible before,” says LLNL’s Implantable Microsystems Group Leader Razi Haque, “this challenge required creation of novel, conformable and higher-density electrodes that allows them to be more flexible and wrap around specific, deep regions of the b...

Thin-film electrodes developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have been used in human patients at the University of California, San Francisco, generating never-before-seen recordings of brain activity in the hippocampus, a region responsible for memory and other cognitive functions.
