A method for determining an increased risk of death of a patient includes receiving ECG data of the patient generated during a first time period; receiving EEG data of the patient generated during the first time period; composing a feature of the ECG data and a feature of the EEG data over a common time frame and determining a statistical measure of association between the ECG data and the EEG data; and determining whether the degree of association exceeds a predetermined threshold, thereby indicating whether an increased risk is present.

Biomarkers for determining susceptibility to SUDEP

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a system that can identify a focal area of abnormal brain interactions in a subject. Time series data can be received that corresponds to recordings from a plurality of regions in a brain of the subject during a resting period. Based on the time series data, an information inflow associated with each of the plurality of regions can be determined. The focal area of the abnormal brain interactions can be identified as one of the plurality of regions having a maximum information inflow.
