The MELD project

The Multi-centre Epilepsy Lesion Detection (MELD) Project is an open-science consortium applying deep-learning to clinical MRI data in epilepsy patients

"Rather than statistical significance of group-level differences, effect size should be used as an indicator of a variable's biomarker potential. The minimal required effects size for individual biomarkers—a Cohen's d of 1.25—is large.."

We tried to make a virtual workshop as interactive as possible

Workshop on AI assisted MRI evaluation for @IlaeWeb AMIE/SUSIE

[Department of Imaging Neuroscience @ImagingNeuroUCL]

Funded by an @WCHN_UCL Public Engagement Grant, Dr Wagstyl and Dr Adler from the @MELD_project have worked with young people living with epilepsy and families to co-create an information sheet about the use of AI in epilepsy diagnosis.

[Sophie Adler @sophieadler]

The @MELD_project created an #AI tool to help radiologists find brain abnormalities causing epilepsy on MRI

How do patients and their families feel about this?
If this tool was used on your MRI scan, what would you want to know?

We wanted to find out! 1/9

Epilepsy centres -- we are still collecting data for the MELD Focal Epilepsies Study - do get in contact if you would like to get involved! @mathrip3 @KonradWagstyl

[The MELD project @meld_project]

We want to hear from over 100 people with epilepsy / parents of people with epilepsy!

How do you feel about use of YOUR DATA for epilepsy research?

What do you HOPE AI can help with?

Please fill in our questionnaire!

[Sophie Adler @sophieadler]

Do you/your child have focal epilepsy?

Take part in this short questionnaire to guide cutting-edge research using BIG DATA, BRAIN IMAGING and ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE to better understand, diagnose and treat people with focal epilepsies.

Surely the fact that I have heard about it in at least 4 different #AES2022 talks, is a testament to the impressive real world impact of @meld_project

(attached the most recent example from @irenezhongwang's fantastic keynote)

Hat off, @sophieadler @KonradWagstyl 👏🏼

Congratulations to @sophieadler who beautifully presented how the @meld_project, and more generally AI, can help cure epilepsy at the @Epilepsy2022 conference today!

Collaborative study @meld_project featuring some of our amazing researchers @LucyVivash @DrBenSinclair Anna Willard @brien_terence @MonashCCS @Alfred_Research #neuroscience #ArtificialIntelligence
detects brain abnormalities that could help cure epilepsy https://t.co/HYIwg7MLaZ

[Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children @GreatOrmondSt]

Congratulations to the @meld_project team!👏

Their incredible collaboration has created technology that could identify the cause of epilepsy more quickly, allowing people with a certain type of epilepsy to receive treatment sooner.

We're proud to be a part of this research.👇

[Sophie Adler @sophieadler]

We are SO EXCITED that our paper "Interpretable surface-based detection of focal cortical dysplasias: a @meld_project study" is published in @Brain1878

[Reetta Kälviäinen @rkalviainen]

Great collaboration with @meld_project and huge group of enthusiastic researchers led by @sophieadler and @KonradWagstyl @EpiCARE_ERN #codedtoconnect

[Armin Raznahan @bogglerapture]

Check out the phenomenal applied neuroscience being done by @sophieadler and the @meld_project . Sizzlingly hot science being used to help patients and discover at the same time.

[Sophie Adler @sophieadler]

What a pleasure to chat to @TorieRobinson10 about @meld_project and our work using machine-learning to find subtle epilepsy causing brain abnormalities on MRI!

Big shout-out to @HannahSpitzer1 @mathrip3 @KonradWagstyl who are all working incredibly hard on this
