  • Publication number: 20230178250
    Abstract: The method for inferring epileptogenicity of a brain region not observed as recruited or not observed as not recruited, in a seizure activity of an epileptic patient brain, includes: providing a computerized model modelling various regions of a primate brain and connectivity between the regions; providing the computerized model with a model able to reproduce an epileptic seizure dynamic in the primate brain; providing structural data of the epileptic patient brain and personalizing the computerized model using the structural data to obtain a virtual epileptic patient (VEP) brain model; translating a state-space representation of the VEP brain model into a probabilistic programming language (PPL) using probabilistic state transitions to obtain a probabilistic virtual epileptic patient brain model (BVEP); and acquiring electro- or magneto-encephalographic data of the patient brain and fitting the probabilistic VEP brain model against the data to infer the epileptogenicity of the brain region that is not observe

  • Publication number: 20220262515
    Abstract: The method for determining an onset time and an excitability of a brain region that is not observed as recruited or not recruited in a seizure activity of an epileptic patient brain includes: providing a dynamical model of a propagation of an epileptic seizure in the brain networks; providing a statistical model which defines the probability of generating sets of observations of the state of the brain networks by said dynamical model; training the dynamical model of the propagation of an epileptic seizure using the statistical model and the data set of observations of the training cohort; and inverting the trained dynamical model and inferring the onset time and excitability of a third region from the onset time that is observed for the first and second regions using the statistical model.

  • Publication number: 20220249167
    Abstract: The method of identifying a potentially surgically operable target zone in an epileptic patient's brain includes: providing a computerized platform modelling various zones of a primate brain and connectivity between said zones; providing a model of an epileptogenic zone and a model of the propagation of an epileptic discharge from an epileptic zone to a propagation zone; obtaining a patient's personalized computerized platform; deriving the potential target zones based on modularity analysis; evaluating the target zones' effectiveness by simulating epileptic seizures propagation in the personalized patient's computerized platform; evaluating the target zones' safety by simulating spatiotemporal brain activation patterns in a defined state condition and comparing the simulated spatiotemporal brain activation patterns obtained before removal of the target zone with the spatiotemporal brain activation patterns obtained after removal of the target zone; identifying the target zones which satisfy both effectivenes
