The Mission of the Brain Dynamics Bioengineering Research Partnership (BRP) is to develop an on-line, real-time Automated Seizure Warning and Prevention System for use by epileptic patients and their caregivers. Our specific aims are: (1) To develop dynamic measures for the quantification of the spatiotemporal properties of the epileptic transition; (2) To develop specific pattern recognition algorithms for a seizure warning system (SWS) based upon the on-line features of the dynamical properties of brain electrical activity; (3) To implement the dynamic features and pattern recognition algorithms in a SWS for on-line, real-time detection of the preictal dynamical transition; and (4) To evaluate the effects of therapeutic interventions during the preictal transition. The Partnership is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and brings together a multi-disciplinary group of research scientists who are pioneers in the areas of signal processing, optimization, hybrid VLSI and DSP computation neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, epilepsy, and neurosurgery.
