Lange, Sanne (author)Epilepsy has been reported in 10-40% of children in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG), often used as neuromonitoring in the PICU, has some limitations and as a result, caretakers in the PICU may find it challenging to interpret aEEG. This may lead to uncertainty during diagnosis and...master thesis 2023

Bot, Chris (author), de Groot, Arthur (author), de Spirlet, Aurore (author)60 million people around the world have epilepsy, which is a neurological disorder that severely impacts their day to day life negatively. Currently available methods to reduce the effects of epilepsy are either ineffective or require expensive and invasive surgery. A new method has been found that can suppress epilepsy without the need of...bachelor thesis 2022

Teurlings, Jorn (author), Broek, Kees (author), Zuidema, Bart (author)Several studies have illustrated that Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (t-VNS) is an effective method for epileptic treatment. In contrast to the classical invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) which is already a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved therapy for epileptic treatment, t-VNS does not require surgical intervention....bachelor thesis 2022

Li, Z. (author), Rajan, R.T. (author)Multiagent systems have been widely researched and deployed in the industry for their potential to collectively achieve goals by distributing tasks to individual agents [1]–[4]. Formation control, one of the many applications of multiagent systems, aims at steering agents into a stable geometric pattern in space [3], [4]. There has been a...conference paper 2022

de Rooij, S.J.S. (author), Hunyadi, B. (author)Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions, affecting nearly 1% of the global population. It is defined by the seemingly random occurrence of spontaneous seizures. Anti-epileptic drugs provide adequate treatment for about 70% of patients. The remaining 30%, on the other hand, continue to have seizures, which has a significant...conference paper 2022

Goedemondt, K.S. (author), Yang, J. (author), Wang, Q. (author)Touchscreens and buttons had became a medium for virus transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have seen in our daily life that people use tissues and keys to press buttons inside elevators, on public screens, etc. In the post- COVID world, touch-free interaction with public touchscreens and buttons may become more popular. Motivated by...conference paper 2022

Thangavel, Prasanth (author), Thomas, John (author), Sinha, Nishant (author), Peh, Wei Yan (author), Yuvaraj, Rajamanickam (author), Cash, Sydney S. (author), Chaudhari, Rima (author), Karia, Sagar (author), Dauwels, J.H.G. (author)Objective. Clinical diagnosis of epilepsy relies partially on identifying interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in scalp electroencephalograms (EEGs). This process is expert-biased, tedious, and can delay the diagnosis procedure. Beyond automatically detecting IEDs, there are far fewer studies on automated methods to differentiate epileptic...journal article 2022

Zin, Gaia (author)Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders worldwide. Its manifestations, the seizures, are due to a group of neurons' abnormal and synchronous activity. The unpredictable nature of these events hinders the quality of life of those affected. In particular, focal seizures show a localized onset of the abnormal activity and are the...master thesis 2021

van Rijn, Joey (author)Outstanding seizure detection algorithms using electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings have been developed over the past decade. These works mainly focus on best of class performance, which leads to computationally heavy solutions. This limits the applicability of these detection algorithms for hardware implementations such as fieldprogrammable...master thesis 2021

Previously, during the SeizeIT1 project, we studied seizure detection based on behind-the-ear electroencephalography (EEG). However, the obtained...journal article 2021

Hogenhuis, Kiki (author)Background: Imaging in the field of epilepsy has been a lasting challenge. In genetic generalised epilepsy (GGE) patients, conventional neuroimaging methods such as the MRI often appear normal and even in focal epilepsy (FE) an obvious structural abnormality is not always visualised. The objective of this exploratory case study is to identify...master thesis 2020

Henstra, Joris (author), Jansen, Pim (author)Many people worldwide suffer from epileptic seizures and not all of them can be prevented using medicines, this thesis is being done for seizure prevention. This is based on implementing a medical body area network (MBAN) that takes sensory recordings across the whole body. This is needed as the research group that proposes this project found...bachelor thesis 2020

(author), Van Paesschen, Wim (author)Objective: Seizure diaries kept by patients are unreliable. Automated electroencephalography (EEG)-based seizure detection systems are a useful support tool to objectively detect and register seizures during long-term video-EEG recording. However, this standard full scalp-EEG recording setup is of limited use outside the hospital, and a...journal article 2020

As a result, the quality of life of refractory epilepsy patients could be improved. Most state-of-the-art algorithms for heart rate-based seizure detection use a so-called patient-independent approach, which do not take into account patient-specific...journal article 2020

van Beurden, Anouk (author)Dravet Syndrome is a rare epileptic disorder, which is caused in more than 70% of all patients by a loss-of-function mutation in the SCN1A gene encoding sodium channel Nav1.1. One of the main problems for treatment of patients with Dravet Syndrome is drug resistance and there are no biomarkers to monitor the efficacy of a particular treatment....master thesis 2019
