Inside One Of The World’s Busiest Epilepsy Clinics - Prof. Mamta Singh
Q: Tell us about what it's like in Delhi, in India, because you have high-volume epilepsy services.
Mamta emphasizes very large clinics with a blend of confident new patient assessments and thorough follow-ups, focusing on both seizure control and broader health issues, while leveraging local government support and accessible diagnostics to provide quality care.
Improving Seizure Localisation With MEG, High-Density EEG & AI - Dr. Christos Papadelis
Q: What is the long-term vision for translating these tools into broader clinical practice?
The focus is on bridging the gap between technology and clinical pathways so more children can benefit earlier, leveraging neuroplasticity while maintaining safety and efficacy.
Improving Seizure Localisation With MEG, High-Density EEG & AI - Dr. Christos Papadelis
Q: How does AI integrate with traditional methods, and what is the role of AI in identifying functional connections in the brain?
AI helps identify complex network relationships and functional connections that human analysis might miss, guiding interpretation of MEG/HD-EEG data and revealing critical hubs.
Improving Seizure Localisation With MEG, High-Density EEG & AI - Dr. Christos Papadelis
Q: Why should clinicians trust AI in this context, and will the AI analysis be shared with the treating neurologist?
AI is a tool to support clinicians by highlighting patterns and connections; it assists rather than replaces clinicians, and the analysis is intended to be integrated into the clinician's workflow to inform decisions.
