Epicenter Location by Analysis of Interictal Spikes
Artificial neural network (ANN) technology is finding increasing application in medicine and biomedical engineering. This paper supplies necessary background in ANN technology for researchers unfamiliar with this rapidly emerging discipline. This introduction to ANN application is cast in the context of epileptic seizure epicenter location. This is a very real problem faced by neurosurgeons every day. Precise location of the area of excision is currently determined with a network of surgically implanted subdural electrodes. This means that the cure entails two surgical procedures
