Kudos to @bartchybowski for presenting part of the work in his #PhD at the #EmergingLeaders @ResearchNetERI by @EpilepsyInst, well done!
Bart is developing machine learning pipelines to detect #seizures across datasets

A huge thank you to all our fire walkers who braved the hot coals for Purple Day!

It was a great afternoon, the weather even held out for us and you raised an amazing £4,285!

Whoa! Nice work

[🧠🌹 ɌɨȼħȺɍđ Ɍøsȼħ 🌹🧠 @roschkoenig]

Nice tweeprint for @jamnor23's work on using machine learning to identify seizure onset zones from non-seizure data.

Exciting use of the quantitative information contained in clinically used electrical stimulation paradigms.

@epilepsy_scot Beautiful in purple. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[Muir Maxwell Epilepsy Centre @MMECEdinburgh]

@EpilepsyInst Fantastic news 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[Epilepsy Scotland @epilepsy_scot]

Tonight, 46 buildings and landmarks across Scotland will be lit up purple to help raise awareness of epilepsy! Send us pictures of them lit up purple by emailing our Communications Officer David at [email protected]

Thanks @ResearchNetERI DTC student Yaseen Almeerali for this article. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Will be helpful particularly in clarifying that genetic does not necessarily mean inherited

[Edinburgh Neuroscience @EdinUniNeuro]

Can a single switch from “A” to “T” in a gene regulating brain function result in epilepsy? Read this article by Yaseen Almeerali that explains how random genetic alterations can give rise to devastating disorders.

In 🟣 today for #PurpleDay to raise awareness about #epilepsy
About 1 in 100 people live with epilepsy

Basic is such a misnomer. Fundamental better? Interesting article by @ResearchNetERI DTC student James Hogg. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[Edinburgh Neuroscience @EdinUniNeuro]

An interesting read on how basic sciences research is crucial to find treatments for genetic disorders such as CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder (CDD), a rare form of epilepsy.
