Exploring Algorithms for Early Seizure Detection
From iis-projects
Description
Epilepsy is a severe and prevalent chronic neurological disorder affecting 1–2% of the world’s population. One third of epilepsy patients continue to suffer from seizures despite best possible pharmacological treatment. For these patients with so-called drug-resistant epilepsy, various algorithms based on intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) recording are proposed to detect the onset of seizures. Among them are algorithms based on brain-inspired hyperdimensional (HD) computing available at http://ieeg-swez.ethz.ch/. The main goal of this project is to enhance current HD algorithms, or propose new ones, to especially reduce the delay of seizure onset detection on long-term iEEG dataset, ultimately pushing towards early seizure detection.
