Abstract:
A reliable algorithm for the timely prediction of epileptic seizures would be a milestone in epilepsy research. Prediction performances have so far been determined using retrospective data assessment, leaving open the question as to whether they prove statistically significant and clinically useful under prospective conditions. To this aim, a Seizure Prediction Competition has been set up. Here, the background and the details of this competition are described.

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:

Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
