Millions of people with epilepsy suffer from seizures that cannot be controlled by medication. Life-threatening seizure may strike at any time, restricting patients from leaving their homes due the constant fear of a seizure. This research offers hope for people with epilepsy by developing a method of anticipating seizures. Successful outcomes will not only provide a warning of impending seizures, but also an opportunity for intervention, thereby preventing seizures.

数以百万计的癫痫患者患有药物无法控制的癫痫发作。危及生命的癫痫发作可能随时发生，由于对癫痫发作的持续恐惧，患者无法离开家园。这项研究通过开发一种预测癫痫发作的方法为癫痫患者带来了希望。成功的结果将不仅提供即将发生癫痫发作的警告，而且提供干预的机会，从而预防癫痫发作。
