Artificial neural network trained on smartphone behavior can trace epileptiform activity in epilepsy

A range of abnormal electrical activity patterns termed epileptiform discharges can occur in the brains of persons with epilepsy. These epileptiform discharges can be monitored and recorded with implanted devices that deliver therapeutic neurostimulation. These continuous recordings provide an oppor...

Sumario:A range of abnormal electrical activity patterns termed epileptiform discharges can occur in the brains of persons with epilepsy. These epileptiform discharges can be monitored and recorded with implanted devices that deliver therapeutic neurostimulation. These continuous recordings provide an opportunity to study the behavioral correlates of epileptiform discharges as the patients go about their daily lives. Here, we captured the smartphone touchscreen interactions in eight patients in conjunction with electrographic recordings (accumulating 35,714 h) and by using an artificial neural network model addressed if the behavior reflected the epileptiform discharges. The personalized model outputs based on smartphone behavioral inputs corresponded well with the observed electrographic data (R: 0.2–0.6, median 0.4). The realistic reconstructions of epileptiform activity based on smartphone use demonstrate how day-to-day digital behavior may be converted to personalized markers of disease activity in epilepsy
