Epilepsy as a Dynamic Disease [E-Book] / edited by John Milton, Peter Jung.
A "brain defibrillator" may be closer than we think. An epileptic seizure involves a paroxysmal change in the activity of millions of neurons. Feedback control of seizures would require an implantable device that could predict seizure occurrence and then deliver a stimulus to abort it. To...
