Abstract:
The study of dynamic changes in neural activity preceding epileptic seizure allows the characterization of a preictal state several minutes before seizure onset. This opens up new perspectives for studying the mechanisms of epileptogenesis as well as for possible therapeutic interventions, which represent a major breakthrough. In this review the authors present and discuss the results from their group in this domain using nonlinear analysis of brain signals, as well as the limitations of this topic and current questions.

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
