What is Epilepsy?

The word epilepsy derives from the Greek epilambanein, meaning ‘to seize’. One in 20 people will have a seizure at some point in their life. Around one in 130 people will develop epilepsy. It is one the most common serious neurological conditions, affecting 50 million people worldwide.

There are two main strands of our bioengineering projects, namely the development of wearable EEG devices and better modelling of MRI/EEG data.

The bioengineering part of our group has now grown and strengthened considerably and we are delivering interesting initial analyses.
