Using an electroencephalography (EEG) analytical method, a team of doctors and scientists in Taiwan has successfully developed a tool to detect certain EEG features often present in children with epilepsy.
The breakthrough in detecting early onset of refractory epilepsy in children may lead to effective treatment using non-pharmacological therapies. The team developed an efficient, automated and quantitative approach towards the early prediction of refractory epilepsy based on EEG classification analysis.
