Dr Miller said the patient-specific model of the brain’s bioelectric activity would help resolve problems experienced by clinicians who were often “unable to characterise epileptic activity” or pinpoint where to proceed with surgery.

“We’re currently working on automating more of the modelling tasks so that we can further reduce the time needed to construct patient-specific models, which will allow neurology and neurosurgery teams create a surgical plan that will be safe and effective in controlling the epilepsy seizure activity,” she said

“This is work that one day may be instrumental in changing the way that epilepsy, which doesn’t respond to medication, is treated in surgery.”
