ML for epilepsy diagnoses

Using machine learning algorithms to improve healthcare systems is a prominent research area, and with the current advances in algorithms and hardware the results are very promising. Past research has identified that Deep Learning algorithms are powerful tools for image analysis. Medical image analysis community has taken notice of these type of algorithms and has started to use and improve them for analyzing medical images produced via different modalities

Epilepsy is one of the main neurological disorders in the world and it affects all ages. We are trying to use Deep Learning algorithms to design decision support systems to help clinicians diagnose and provide care for patients with epilepsy. Currently, the main focus of the work is on using Deep Learning to analyse MRI of patient with epilepsy.
