Students Aiming to Design Implant that Senses & Stops Seizures
From: Medical Design Technology - 04/25/2016

Rice University engineering students are charged with analyzing the massive
stream of data from a single brain to find early signs of an epileptic
seizure.

The students who call themselves the Pre-ictal Predictors are working with
doctors at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
(UTHealth) and Memorial Hermann Hospital as part of a multiyear project. The
ultimate goal is to provide patients with intractable epilepsy with
neurostimulator implants that sense signs of a seizure during the pre-ictal
phase - the time before the seizure happens - and stop it before it begins.
