Workshop in Epilepsy Engineering

The aim of this workshop is to bring together clinical and technical researchers in epilepsy and to encourage cross-fertilisation. Its scope is to disseminate the current methodology for epilepsy detection, encouraging the inter-disciplinary communication of algorithms, drawbacks, practical issues and performance evaluation. The workshop will highlight the emerging engineering innovations in epilepsy detection through brain imaging technologies (EEG, PET, etc...), signal processing and machine learning methodologies and will try bridge the gap from the research lab to the clinical implementation. Members of the neuroscience, clinicalrResearch and engineering communities are encouraged to attend this highly multidisciplinary meeting.
