Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) allows data analysis and integration at an unprecedented granularity and scale. Here we review the technological advances, challenges and future perspectives of using AI for electro-clinical phenotyping of animal models and patients with epilepsy. In translational research AI models accurately identify behavioral states in animal models of epilepsy, allowing identification of correlations between neural activity and interictal and ictal behavior. Clinical applications of AI-based automated and semi-automated analysis of audio and video recordings of people with epilepsy, allow significant data reduction and reliable detection and classification of major motor seizures. AI models can accurately identify electrographic biomarkers of epilepsy, such as spikes, high-frequency oscillations and seizure patterns. Integrating AI analysis of EEG, clinical and behavioral data will contribute to optimizing therapy of patients with epilepsy.
