This paper proposes an artificial intelligence system that continuously improves over time at event prediction using initially unlabelled data by self-supervised learning. Time-series are inherently autocorrelated. By a detection model to generate weak labels on the fly, which concurrently used as targets train time-shifted input stream, this autocorrelation can effectively be harnessed reduce burden of manual labelling. is critical in medical patient monitoring, it enables development personalized forecasting models without demanding annotation long sequences physiological signal recordings. We perform feasibility study seizure prediction, identified ideal test case, pre-ictal brainwaves patient-specific, and tailoring individual patients known improve performance significantly. Our approach individualized for 10 patients, showing average relative improvement sensitivity 14.30% reduction false alarms 19.61% early forecasting. proof-of-concept continuous stream time-series neurophysiological paves way towards low-power neuromorphic neuromodulation system.

A lot of mileage has been made recently on the long and winding road toward seizure forecasting. Here we briefly review some selected milestones passed along way, which were discussed at International Conference for Technology Analysis Seizures-ICTALS 2022-convened University Bern, Switzerland. Major impetus was gained from wearable implantable devices that record not only electroencephalography, but also data motor behavior, acoustic signals, various signals autonomic nervous system. This multimodal monitoring can be performed ultralong timescales covering months or years. Accordingly, features metrics extracted these now assess dynamics with a greater degree completeness. Most prominently, this allowed confirmation long-suspected cyclical nature interictal epileptiform activity, risk, seizures. The cover daily, multi-day, yearly cycles. Progress fueled by approaches originating interdisciplinary field network science. Considering epilepsy as large-scale disorder yielded novel perspectives pre-ictal evolving epileptic brain. In addition to discrete predictions will take place in specified prediction horizon, community broadened scope probabilistic forecasts risk continuously time. shift gears triggered incorporation additional quantify performance forecasting algorithms, should compared chance constrained stochastic null models. An imminent task utmost importance is find optimal ways communicate output seizure-forecasting algorithms patients, caretakers, clinicians, so they have socioeconomic impact improve patients' well-being.

Abstract Antiseizure medication (ASM) is the primary treatment for epilepsy. In clinical practice, methods to assess ASM efficacy (predict seizure freedom or reduction), during any phase of drug lifecycle, are limited.

Abstract Objective Epileptic seizures occurring in cyclical patterns is increasingly recognized as a significant opportunity to advance epilepsy management. Current methods for detecting seizure cycles rely on intrusive techniques or specialized biomarkers, thereby limiting their accessibility. This study evaluates non‐invasive cycle detection method using diaries and compares its accuracy with identified from intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs). Methods Using data previously published first in‐human iEEG device trial ( n = 10), we analyzed through diary reports, seizures, IEDs. Cycle similarities across IEDs were evaluated at periods of 1 45 days spectral coherence, accuracy, precision, recall, the false‐positive rate.

Accuracy, recall scores, rates significantly higher than chance all participants (accuracy (mean ± standard deviation): .95 .02; precision: .56 .19; recall: rate: .02 .01). However, scores IED both did not perform above chance, average. Recall compared good reporters, under‐reporters, over‐reporters, generally performing better reporters under‐reporters over‐reporters.

Abstract Objective The circadian rhythm synchronizes physiological and behavioral patterns with the 24‐h light–dark cycle. Disruption to is linked various health conditions, although optimal methods describe these disruptions remain unclear. An emerging approach examine intraindividual variability in measurable properties of over extended periods. Epileptic seizures are modulated by rhythms, but relevance disruption epilepsy remains unexplored. Our study investigates its relationship seizures. Methods We retrospectively analyzed >70 000 h wearable smartwatch data (Fitbit) from 143 people (PWE) 31 healthy controls. Circadian oscillations heart rate time series were extracted, daily estimates period, acrophase, amplitude produced, an entire recording calculated. Results PWE exhibited greater period (76 vs. 57 min, d = .66, p < .001) acrophase (64 48 .49, .004) compared controls, not (2 beats per minute, −.15, .49). Variability showed no correlation seizure frequency nor any differences between weeks without Significance For first time, we show that rhythms more variable PWE, detectable via consumer devices. However, association or occurrence was found, suggesting this might be underpinned etiology rather than being a seizure‐driven effect.
