New study alert 📝🧠
People with Functional/Dissociative Seizures #FDS #FND show distinct links between cognitive functioning & psychopathology compared to non-lesional #epilepsy. Language and attentional switching may be key.

📢Our study just got published in @BMJMentalHealth! This is the first to systematically examine risk factors for suicidality in a large sample of people with functional/dissociative seizures📊#SuicidePrevention #FND @Paul_Shotbolt @ImanJasani @IoPPN_NREG👉https://t.co/EO2sJWWHbT

🧠🔍 Delving into an underexplored field, we studied the interdependence between #psychopathology and #cognition in functional/dissociative seizures #FDS #FND and #epilepsy. Our pre-print is out! 👇

[@BrainComms @braincomms]

Faiman et al. explore whether resting-state EEG markers can differentiate between the diagnoses of #epilepsy and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures. #SeizureDisorders #EEG #FND @IFaiman @Paul_Shotbolt @Joel_Winston https://t.co/7W4jG3VL0U

[Irene Faiman @IFaiman]

🔬 Excited to announce the culmination of 3 years of dedicated effort – our two #EEG studies are now out in @braincomms 🧠💡, tackling the challenge of differentiating between #epilepsy and #PNES.
Are we there yet? Find out! 👇@Paul_Shotbolt @IoPPN_NREG

Great lecture from @IFaiman on important but poorly researched topic: suicidal ideation, acts & completion in epilepsy & functional seizures👏👏👏

It has been such a great experience to collaborate with the Imperial team on this extraordinary project.

I am delighted to finally share the published work. Assessing cognition in people with TBI with increased sensitivity to injury severity is possible! @eClinicalMed

[Dr. Maria Balaet @emmsskyyy]

New publication alert!

Check out the whole paper published in @eClinicalMed here: https://t.co/lv9Y2syF8J

Really excited to share this piece of work which has been in the making for many years. It was an immense collaborative effort between clinicians, psychologists and neuroscientists, and also one of the core projects I contributed to since my early days at Imperial College.

We present an observational study where we use our bespoke computerised cognitive testing tasks to assess cognition in a traumatic brain injury (TBI) patient population.

We illustrate that online cognitive assessment of TBI patients is feasible, sensitive, and efficient. When combined with normative sociodemographic models and autogenerated reports, it has the potential to transform cognitive assessment in the healthcare setting.

Shout out to @ProfHampshire @Neurosharp & the entire team for the massive amount of work that went into this over the years!

#FND research hot off the @JNNP_BMJ press!
Our latest study shows that in people with #epilepsy, #suicide attempt is 2.5 times more likely in the presence of concurrent Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures #PNES.
