The day will focus on big data in research and management of epile psy. It includes a keynote lecture by Dr. Dang Nguyen titled 'Automated An alysis of EEG'\, trainee presentations\, a poster session\, and the Pierre Gloor Lecture\, titled 'Engineering The Future of Epilepsy Care'\, delive red by Dr. Brian Litt.\n\nThe Pierre Gloor lecture honours the life and le gacy of Pierre Gloor (1923-2003) who joined Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ's Montreal Neurological Institute in 1952 as a fellow in electroencephalography and neurophysiolo gy. He studied with Wilder Penfield and Herbert Jasper\, eventually receiv ing his Ph.D. from Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ in 1957. Pierre Gloor worked closely with the cl inical and research teams at the Montreal Neurological Institute in the tr eatment of epilepsy. His work in understanding and treating this disorder earned him a worldwide reputation.\n\n\nTo attend in person\, register her e\n\nTo view online (no registration required)\, Click here\n\n\n \n Program \n Speakers\n Location\n Call for Posters\n Scientific Committee\n \n\n \n Progra mme Booklet \n Download Programme Booklet\n\n  \n\n \n \n \n Time\n Event\n \n \n \n \n 11:00 \n \n Keynote Lecture - Automated Analysis of EEG\n\n Dang Nguyen\, M D\, PhD\, FRCPC\n\n Department of Neuroscience\, Université de Montréal\; N eurologist\, CHUM\n \n \n \n 12:00 \n Lunch and Poster Session\n \n \n 13:30\n \n Tr ainee Presentations\n\n Talk 1: Relationships Between Brain Networks and A ntiseizure Medication Load in Epilepsy Patients: An EEG-fMRI Study\n\n Alic e Ballabeni\, The Neuro\, Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ\n\n Talk 2: Transcriptional Map ping of Hippocampal Atrophy in Pharmaco-Resistant Temporal Lobe Epilepsy \n\n Alexander Ngo\, The Neuro\, Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ\n\n Talk 3: Cortical Atr ophy Before and After Surgery Map to Distinct Brain Networks in Temporal L obe Epilepsy\n\n Sara Larivière\, Harvard Medical School\n \n \n \n 14:00-15:00  \n \n Pierre Gloor Lecture - Engineering The Future of Epilepsy Care\n\n Bri an Litt\, MD\n\n Professor of Neurology\, Neurosurgery and Bioengineering\, University of Pennsylvania\, USA\n \n \n \n \n\n  \n \n\n \n Speakers\n\n Dr. Dang Nguyen\, MD\, PhD\, FRCPC \n\n Bio\n\n Dang K. Nguyen is the current chief of neurology at the Montreal University Hospital Center (CHUM). He obtaine d his MD\, PhD and neurology degrees at the University of Montreal and com pleted his epilepsy fellowship training at Yale University. For the last 2 3 years\, he has been caring for complex epilepsy cases at the CHUM. He is also a principal scientist at the CHUM Research Center\, full professor i n the Department of Neurosciences at the University of Montreal and holds a Canada Research Chair in Epilepsy. Having previously been the president of the Canadian League against Epilepsy\, he is currently on the executive board of the North American Commission of the International League agains t Epilepsy.\n\n Talk Abstract\n\n The routine EEG is ubiquitous in epilepsy\ , from the decision to initiate antiseizure medications all the way throug h their attempted withdrawal. However\, detection of interictal epileptifo rm discharges can be elusive as they may not always be present (low to mod erate sensitivity) and several spiky transients can mimic interictal epile ptiform discharges (moderate interrater reliability). Because routine EEGs are performed dozens of times a day in most hospitals and the recording e quipment and protocols are relatively standardized\, there is an opportuni ty for assemble large amount of data to develop algorithms for automated E EG analysis using artificial intelligence.\n\n  \n\n Dr. Brian Litt\, MD\n\n Bio\n\n Dr. Litt is the Perelman Professor of Neurology\, Neurosurgery and Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania. He divides his time equa lly between the Schools of Medicine and Engineering\, and directs centers in Neuroengineering\, Epilepsy research and Device Innovation. Dr. Litt is a neurologist who treats patients with epilepsy. His research focuses on NeuroEngineering: materials\, hardware\, imaging\, algorithms\, data scien ce\, machine learning\, and high-speed computing for neural interfaces and devices. His laboratory translates basic science into new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies\, with a focus Epilepsy and other brain network d isorders. Dr. Litt also works on infrastructure and platforms for internat ional data sharing and integration at scale\, and his open-source platform s\, IEEG.org and Pennsieve\, are used by thousands of researchers worldwid e. Dr. Litt has won awards for teaching\, research and mentoring\, includi ng an NIH Pioneer Award\, the AES Clinical Research Award\, and the NIH/ N INDS Landis Award for mentoring.\n\n Talk Abstract\n\n Technologies to diagn ose\, map\, monitor\, analyze and treat brain network disorders\, like epi lepsy\, are growing with breathtaking speed\, but their impact on treatmen t and outcome has been modest. There are many potential reasons: lack of m echanistic understanding\, small studies that might not generalize\, syste mic barriers and misaligned incentives for sharing data and accelerating p rogress. In this talk\, I will present a vision of what epilepsy care migh t look like in 2050\, and touch upon specific research attempting to reali ze it\, drawn from our center and elsewhere. I will present major challeng es to improving care and hope to initiate discussion regarding solutions. \n \n\n \n Location\n\n The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital is at 3801 University Street\, north of Pine Avenue West\, on the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Univer sity campus opposite the former Royal Victoria Hospital.\n\n Montreal is se rved by highway Routes 10\, 15\, 20 and 40\, and by Greyhound Bus\, Via Ra il and the P-E-Trudeau airport.
