Description

Motivation and application domain
Epilepsy surgery is an option for people with focal onset drug-resistant seizures but a delayed or incorrect diagnosis of epileptogenic zone (EZ) location limits its efficacy. Seizure semeiological manifestations and their chronological appearance contain valuable information on the putative EZ location but their interpretation relies on extensive experience.

General objectives and main activities
The aim of the work is to support the localization of EZ in DRE patients automatically analyzing the semeiological description of seizures contained in video-EEG reports.
