ECoG
Epileptic Seizure Focal Points
Seizure caused by an oscillating signal moving across neurons
When enough neurons oscillate, a seizure occurs
Treatment “cuts out” signal origin: errors have serious implications
Directed mutual information spanning tree algorithm applied
to ECoG measurements estimates the focal point of the seizure
Application of our algorithm to existing data sets on 3 patients
matched well with their medical records
