Many complex and interesting phenomena in nature are due to nonlinear phenomena. The
theory of nonlinear dynamical systems, also called 'chaos theory', has now progressed to a …

The sudden and apparently unpredictable nature of seizures is one of the most disabling
aspects of the disease epilepsy. A method capable of predicting the occurrence of seizures …

Functional imaging of the human brain is an increasingly important technique for clinical and
cognitive neuroscience research, with functional MRI (fMRI) of the blood oxygen level …

Due to their small amplitude, the importance of high-frequency EEG oscillations with respect
to cognitive functions and disorders is often underestimated as compared to slower …

Light flashes, patterns, or color changes can provoke seizures in up to 1 in 4000 persons.
Prevalence may be higher because of selection bias. The Epilepsy Foundation reviewed …

Purpose: This report summarizes background material presented to a consensus
conference on visually provoked seizures, convened by the Epilepsy Foundation of America …

In this overview, we consider epilepsies as dynamical diseases of brain systems since they
are manifestations of the property of neuronal networks to display multistable dynamics. To …

Intermittent photic stimulation (IPS) is a common procedure performed in the
electroencephalography (EEG) laboratory in children and adults to detect abnormal …

The ultimate goal of epileptology is the complete abolishment of epileptic seizures. This
might be achieved by a system that predicts seizure onset combined with a system that …

Cortical oscillatory synchrony in the gamma range has been attracting increasing attention
in cognitive neuroscience ever since being proposed as a solution to the so-called binding …
