Epilepsy
Magnetoencephalography and epilepsy
1996 – 1999 Aston University, Prof G Harding
Use of non-invasive brain imaging technology, MEG (magnetoencephalography), to study changes in brain activity in epileptic patients, in particular visual triggers of photosensitive epilepsy. An alternative to studying induced seizures in restrained baboons, as well as cats and chickens.
Computer model of epilepsy
1996 – 1998 Bristol University, Dr T Benke & Dr W Anderson
Calcium dynamics in a computer model of neuronal epileptogenesis. An alternative to harmful brain experiments in cats, dogs, rabbits and non-human primates.
