Abstract
There are over 30 million people with drug-resistant epilepsy worldwide. When neuroimaging and non-invasive neural recordings fail to localise seizure onset zones (SOZ), intracranial recordings become the best chance for localisation and seizure-freedom in those patients. However, intracranial neural activities remain hard to visually discriminate across recording channels, which limits the success of intracranial visual investigations. In this presentation, I present methods which quantify intracranial neural time series and combine them with explainable machine learning algorithms to localise the SOZ in the epileptic brain. I present the potentials and limitations of our methods in the localisation of SOZ in epilepsy providing insights for future research in this area.
