The goal of this project is to develop time series entropy measures and applying chaos theory to understand (and possibly) predict seizures in children epileptic encephalopathies. These are characterized by being drug resistant, described by multiple massive long term-EEG. As a result of this, neurologists may find it difficult to give objective opinions about the evolution of the little patient considering the historic bunch of EEG. This complicates more if we want to identify (objectively as well) the more affected area of the brain through all the patient’s life. Moreover, how could we compare quantitatively a given patient with another one’s progress? How to measure objectively (taking into account all the above mentioned circumstances) if the AED (antiepilpetic drugs) are working efficiently? We have already answered these questions in diverse papers of ours (and others still submitted or being currently developed), but we still need to solve the problem of finding clinical markers and prediction.
