The method of modulating epileptogenicity in a brain of an epileptic patient includes: providing a virtual brain; providing a model of an epileptogenic and of a propagation zones and loading the models in the virtual brain to create a virtual epileptic brain; acquiring data of the brain of the epileptic patient; identifying, in the data, a location of at least one possible epileptogenic zone; fitting the virtual epileptic brain against the data acquired from the epileptic patient and parametrizing the at least one possible epileptogenic zone in the virtual epileptic brain as an epileptogenic zone; and simulating, within the virtual epileptic brain, the effect of a network modulation mimicking a clinical intervention of the brain of the patient.

Method of modulating epileptogenicity in a patient's brain

A method for automatically detecting elements of interest in electrophysiological signals includes: delivering electrophysiological signals; producing a whitened time-frequency representation of the electrophysiological signals; setting a threshold; applying this threshold to the whitened time-frequency representation; and, in the whitened time-frequency representation, detecting local maxima that are higher than or equal to the applied threshold.
