Epilepsy is one of the common neurological disorders characterized by a sudden and recurrent malfunction of the brain that is termed “seizure”, affecting around 65 million individuals worldwide. Epileptic seizure may lead to many injuries such as fractures, submersion, burns, motor vehicle accidents and even death. It is highly possible to prevent these unwanted situations if we can predict/det...

Epilepsy is a condition that affects the brain and causes repeated seizures. Epilepsy is the second most common neurological disorder, affecting 0.6–0.8% of the world’s population. In this neurological disorder, abnormal activity of the brain causes seizures, the nature of which tend to be sudden. The cells in the brain, known as neurons, conduct electrical signals and communicate with each oth...

Electroencephalographic signal is a representative signal that contains information about brain activity, which is used for the detection of epilepsy since epileptic seizures are caused by a disturbance in the electrophysiological activity of the brain. The prediction of epileptic seizure usually requires a detailed and experienced analysis of EEG. In this paper, we have introduced a statistica...

In this paper, we present low-power circuit techniques for implementing a closed-loop neurostimulator (CLNS) as an alternative treatment for medically refractory epilepsy. The proposed circuit has low-power dissipation with better detection sensitivity compared to the recently proposed circuit techniques for epileptic seizure detector. We demonstrate low-power circuit techniques for implementat...

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is the record of the brain electrical activity and it contains valuable information related to the different physiological and pathological states of the brain. Epilepsy is known to be the most prevalent neurological disorder in humans and seizure discharge is the main characteristics of the epilepsy. EEG is an important clinical tool for the diagnosis and monitoring ...

Epilepsy is a very common neurological disorder. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is the major diagnostic tool used for analyzing the human epileptic seizure activity and there is a strong need of an efficient automatic seizure detection using it to ease the diagnosis. This work aims at an automatic system for diagnosis of epilepsy. Here we extract some features like fractal dimensions, sample entrop...

objective epilepsy is one of the most important problems in neurology. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between dairy products and seizures of the epileptic children based on their mothers' experience. materials & methods in a descriptive- analytic study, mothers' experience regarding the relationship between dairy products and seizures of their children was evaluated ...

Epilepsy is the most prevalent neurological disorder in humans after stroke. Recurrent seizure is the main characteristic of the epilepsy. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is the recording of brain electrical activity and it contains valuable information related to the different physiological states of the brain. Thus, EEG is considered an indispensable tool for diagnosing epilepsy in clinic applicat...

Background. The proportion of US children with special health care needs (CSHCN) with epilepsy/seizure disorder who receive care in high-quality health service systems was examined. Methodology. We analyzed data for 40,242 CSHCN from the 2009-2010 National Survey of CSHCN and compared CSHCN with epilepsy/seizure disorder to CSHCN without epilepsy/seizure disorder. Measures included attainment r...
