About this Research Topic
The aim of this Research Topic is to uncover novel and promising research trends in developing or applying computational models to seizure forecasting and detection and to elucidate how these algorithms can be translated into effective reduction of morbidity/mortality and meaningful improvement in patient quality of life.
This Research Topic welcomes high quality original research, perspective articles, or review articles relating to the application of current statistical or machine learning methods to seizure forecasting/detection and translation into devices, including: clinical applications, methods, new algorithm design, performance evaluation, patient perspective articles, and ethical discussion.
Potential areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Statistical methods and machine learning for seizure risk estimation or forecasting, using clinical or electrographic data
• Statistical methods and machine learning for automated seizure detection, using physiological or electroencephalography data
• Translation of seizure forecasting or detection into devices or clinical decision support systems
• Evaluation of sensitivity and specificity of new or established algorithms for forecasting or detection
• Impact of seizure forecasting and detection on quality of life
• Patient perspective articles
• Ethical, policy, and/or legal discussions regarding seizure forecasting or detection
