Seizure embedding map: spatio-temporal transformer for comparing patients by ictal iEEG

• A Journal of Neural Engineering study presents a spatio-temporal transformer—“the seizure embedding map”—for comparing patients by ictal intracranial EEG (iEEG) features at scale.¹
• Invasive treatment planning for medication-resistant epilepsy depends on interpreting iEEG to identify seizure onset patterns and locations.¹
• Matching a new patient’s seizures to prior cases remains subjective because implant strategies, electrode placements, and seizure onset zones differ across individuals and centers.¹
• The transformer embeds ictal iEEG so new patients can be compared with prior cases despite heterogeneous implants.¹
• The approach targets epilepsy planning and scalable analysis of intracranial signals across varied recording setups.^{1 1}
