Research

Explore our diverse research themes focusing on the complex relationship between REM sleep and epilepsy. Our studies seek to uncover underlying mechanisms, develop innovative approaches, and increase awareness about this important aspect of epilepsy research.

How REM Sleep affects Epilepsy Expression in Time and Brain Space

Understanding the temporal and spatial dynamics of epilepsy during REM sleep is vital. This research theme investigates how seizures manifest and progress during different stages of REM sleep, providing insights into the patterns and triggers of epileptic activity.

Quantitative EEG APproaches in REM Sleep and Beyond

Utilizing advanced EEG techniques, we analyze brain wave patterns during REM sleep to detect and predict epileptic episodes. This theme focuses on developing quantitative methods to enhance the accuracy and reliability of EEG in diagnosing and monitoring epilepsy.

SIMULATING REM Sleep with Neurostimulation

Exploring the potential of neurostimulation to modulate REM sleep, this research theme aims to understand how targeted electrical stimulation can influence brain activity and reduce the occurrence of seizures. Our goal is to develop non-invasive treatments that improve patient outcomes.

Seasonal effects on seizures in the arctic

Investigating the impact of seasonal changes on epilepsy, particularly in Arctic regions, this theme examines how variations in daylight and temperature affect seizure frequency and severity. Understanding these patterns can lead to more effective management strategies for individuals living in extreme environments.

Medical Education on the Utility of EEG In REM Sleep and beyond

Promoting the importance of EEG in epilepsy diagnosis and treatment, this theme focuses on educating medical trainees about the latest advancements and applications of EEG technology. Our aim is to enhance clinical practices and improve patient care by working with comprehensive medical training programs.

promoting awareness of REM Sleep, epilepsy and beyond

Raising public awareness about the critical link between REM sleep and epilepsy, this research theme emphasizes the importance of understanding sleep’s role in managing epilepsy. We engage with communities, healthcare providers, and policymakers to spread knowledge and support efforts in epilepsy research and treatment.
