Imagine suddenly getting a feeling you can't quite describe.

A weird smell.
Deja vu.
A feeling of dread.

You know what comes next.

These sensations are known as Auras, and keeping track can make a real difference to your epilepsy management.

7/7 I’m looking forward to seeing how this innovation will be received by the broader medical community and how it will impact the lives of those living with epilepsy.

A big thank you to all my co-authors who made this study possible!
