Absence Seizure Control by a Brain Computer Interface
Abstract The ultimate goal of epileptology is the complete abolishment of epileptic seizures. This might be achieved by a system that predicts seizure onset combined with a system that interferes with the process that leads to the onset of a seizure. Seizure prediction remains, as of yet, unresolved...

Abstract The ultimate goal of epileptology is the complete abolishment of epileptic seizures.
