Download or read book Application of Machine Learning to Epileptic Seizure Onset Detection and Treatment written by Ali Hossam Shoeb and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (cont.) In this thesis we also discuss how our detector can be embedded within a low power, implantable medical device to enable the delivery of just-in-time therapy that has the potential to either eliminate or attenuate the clinical symptoms associated with seizures. Finally, we report on the in-hospital use of our detector to enable delay-sensitive therapeutic and diagnostic applications. We demonstrate the feasibility of using the algorithm to control the Vagus Nerve Stimulator (an implantable neuro stimulator for the treatment of intractable seizures), and to initiate ictal SPECT (a functional neuroimaging modality useful for localizing the cerebral site of origin of a seizure).
