Abstract
The annual BCI Research Awards highlight each year’s best projects involving BCIs. This year, one of the submissions that was nominated for an award introduced a new approach to help surgeons identify areas that cause seizures. This new work could make epilepsy surgeries more effective while helping us understand what causes epilepsy and why medications to help people with epilepsy are not always effective. Future work could help other types of patients and even identify patterns outside of the brain. This chapter presents an interview with Karla Burelo, the lead author of this project.
