About this position

Around a third of children with epilepsy continue to have seizures despite medication. For those who cannot be helped by conventional surgery, electrical stimulation delivered by an implanted device is one of the few remaining options. Its use is expanding quickly, yet responses vary widely between children, and there is still no principled way to decide where to stimulate, or with what settings, for an individual patient. These choices are currently made by careful trial and error over many months. This project uses mathematical models of brain networks to help predict efficacy of stimulation
