Noninvasive System and Method for Mapping Epileptic Networks and Surgical Planning

Tech ID: 17A101

Competitive Advantages

  • Automatically map patient’s unique brain network from non-concurrent data
  • Calculate surgery success chance
  • Plans surgery and describes to surgeon on 3D map of patient’s brain

Summary

USF inventors created a method that automatically processes and merges non-concurrent EEG data and rsfMRI data to create a 3D map of the patient’s functional brain network. The software is further for precisely identifying candidates that are likely to respond to surgery. The software then creates a targeted surgical plan for those patients and describes the plan to the surgeon on the 3D map. This first of its kind software could drastically increase the success of resective neurosurgery for epilepsy patients.
