In this paper, we present the preliminary steps conducted in the framework of the research project Mitigating Negative Impacts of Monitoring high levels of Automation (MINIMA). The main objectives of MINIMA are i) to develop vigilance and attention neuro-physiological indexes, and ii) to im-plement them in a system that can adapt its behavior and g...
OBJECTIVE: MEG and EEG after sleep deprivation (EEG-SD) are applied as diagnostic tools in the evaluation of patients with possible epilepsy. There is no gold standard to check whether the diagnosis based on these two modalities is correct. The best standard available is the long-term follow-up of patients. As follow-up of an earlier study in which...

Accurate forecasting of epileptic seizures has the potential to transform clinical epilepsy care. However, progress toward reliable seizure forecasting has been hampered by lack of open access to long duration recordings with an adequate number of seizures for investigators to rigorously compare algorithms and results. A seizure forecasting competi...
Potential effects of a 30 min exposure to third generation (3G) Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile phone-like electromagnetic fields (EMFs) were investigated on human brain electrical activity in two experiments. In the first experiment, spontaneous electroencephalography (sEEG) was analyzed (n=17); in the second experiment, a...
Objective : This prospective, bicentre, blinded, intention to treat study assessed the clinical added value of magnetic source imaging (MSI) in the presurgical evaluation of patients with refractory focal epilepsy (RFE). Methods : 70 consecutive patients with RFE (42 men; mean age 31.5 years, range 3-63) from two Belgian centres were prospectively ...
There is not a specific test to diagnose Alzheimer`s disease (AD). Its diagnosis should be based upon clinical history, neuropsychological and laboratory tests, neuroimaging and electroencephalography (EEG). Therefore, new approaches are necessary to enable earlier and more accurate diagnosis and to follow treatment results. In this study we used a...
