Two new models could solve a problem that’s long frustrated millions of people with epilepsy and the doctors who treat them: how to find precisely where seizures originate to treat exactly that part of the brain. By helping surgeons decide if and where to operate, the tools developed by Johns Hopkins University researchers and newly […]
Read MoreJohns Hopkins University and Howard University are teaming up to develop medical devices to diagnosis, treat, and manage neurological disorders. Researchers with the new NeuroTech Harbor technology accelerator, supported by the National Institutes of Health, will collaborate with diverse partners worldwide to create equitable and accessible technologies and solutions. The goal is increase participation in the neurotech […]
Read MoreLess than 8% of engineering faculty members around the country identify as members of underrepresented groups. A workshop held last month on the Homewood campus is on a mission to change that. Co-hosted by Johns Hopkins University’s Department of Biomedical Engineering and Columbia University, the third annual Rising Stars in Engineering in Health Workshop aims […]
Read MoreThere is a seismic shift underway in epilepsy research and patient care, and it’s coming from engineering. Two studies published by researchers in Sri Sarma’s Neuromedical Control Systems Lab were mentioned in a recent editorial on engineers in epilepsy in the journal Brain. Read the full commentary in the link below: Engineers drive new directions […]

Read MoreResearch description: Stereotactic EEG (sEEG) is an electrophysiological recording modality that obtains high temporal resolution of brain tissue’s electrical activity. In addition, it can sample deep structures of the brain. SEEG-Kit (SEEK) is a set of software tools that aims to merge data modalities (T1 MRI, CT, sEEG) and sEEG time-series analysis to robustly visualize […]
