Additional information
<28> Very fast oscillations (VFOs) are a hallmark of pathological activity in epilepsy patients. Using advanced data analysis techniques, we were able to determine the mechanism in human brain tissue – a mechanism that turned out to be different from previous studies in animal models. The close collaboration between experimental and Kaiser's computational lab, of which this paper is a prime example, has led to the award of a £10m EPSRC/Wellcome Trust Innovation in Engineering for Health grant to develop new implants for epilepsy patients. This new grant funds PostDoc for Kaiser's lab over 7 years.
