Noninvasive wearable devices have great potential to aid the management of epilepsy, but these must robust signal quality, and patients be willing wear them for long periods time. Automated machine learning classification biosensor signals requires quantitative measures quality automatically reject poor-quality or corrupt data segments. In this study, commercially available sensors were placed on with epilepsy undergoing in-hospital in-home electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring, healthy...

The unpredictability of epileptic seizures exposes people with epilepsy to potential physical harm, restricts day-to-day activities, and impacts mental well-being. Accurate seizure forecasters would reduce the uncertainty associated but need be feasible accessible in long-term. Wearable devices are perfect candidates develop non-invasive, forecasts yet investigated long-term studies. We hypothesized that machine learning models could utilize heart rate as a biomarker for well-established...

The factors that influence seizure timing are poorly understood, and unpredictability remains a major cause of disability. Work in chronobiology has shown cyclical physiological phenomena ubiquitous, with daily multiday cycles evident immune, endocrine, metabolic, neurological, cardiovascular function. Additionally, work chronic brain recordings identified risk is linked to activity. Here, we provide the first characterization relationships between modulation diverse set signals, activity,...

Stimulation-evoked signals are starting to be used as biomarkers indicate the state and health of brain networks. The human limbic network, often targeted for stimulation therapy, is involved in emotion memory processing. Previous anatomic, neurophysiological, functional studies suggest distinct subsystems within network (Rolls, 2015). Studies using intracranial electrical stimulation, however, have emphasized similarities evoked waveforms across network. We test whether these...
