Abstract
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning are increasingly being used in all medical fields including for epilepsy research and clinical care. Already there have been resultant cutting-edge applications in both the clinical and research arenas of epileptology. Because there is a need to disseminate knowledge about these approaches, how to use them, their advantages, and their potential limitations, the goal of the 2023 Merritt-Putnam Symposium and of this synopsis review of that symposium has been to present the background and state of the art and then to draw conclusions on current and future applications of these approaches through the following: (1) Initially provide an explanation of the fundamental principles of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning. These are presented in the first section of this review by Dr Wesley Kerr. (2) Provide insights into their cutting-edge applications in screening for medications in neural organoids, in general, and for epilepsy in particular. These are presented by Dr Sandra Acosta. (3) Provide insights into how artificial intelligence approaches can predict clinical response to medication treatments. These are presented by Dr Patrick Kwan. (4) Finally, provide insights into the expanding applications to the detection and analysis of EEG signals in intensive care, epilepsy monitoring unit, and intracranial monitoring situations, as presented below by Dr Gregory Worrell. The expectation is that, in the coming decade and beyond, the increasing use of the above approaches will transform epilepsy research and care and supplement, but not replace, the diligent work of epilepsy clinicians and researchers.
期刊介绍:
Epilepsy Currents is an open access, bi-monthly current-awareness journal providing reviews, commentaries and abstracts from the world’s literature on the research and treatment of epilepsy. Epilepsy Currents surveys and comments on all important research and developments in a format that is easy to read and reference. Each issue is divided into two main sections: Basic Science and Clinical Science. An outstanding Editorial Board reviews the literature and assigns topics and articles to world experts for comment. In addition, the Editors commission authoritative review articles on important subjects.
