Locating Epileptic Foci by ANN Analysis of Interictal Spikes

A diagnostic software system (DSS) now under development is intended to implement artificial neural networks (ANNs) that will analyze magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data to locate foci and epicenters of epileptic activity in human patients. This DSS is applicable to single-focus epilepsy, in which a seizure is caused by uncontrolled firing of neurons that starts from a single location in the brain (the focus) and spreads across the brain like an electrical storm.
