seizure prediction research
Fri, 09/18/2009 - 21:15We have reason to believe seizures can be predicted prior to onset using a non-invasive technology, but it has been extremely difficult to find volunteers to assist with sample collection. Unfortunately, without volunteers, this promising idea will never come to fruition. I realize many of you are not interested in participating in research endeavors, but I also know a small percentage of epileptics are. I would like those of you that are willing, to consider participating in a non-invasive study to determine if seizure prediction is possible. The eventual goal would be to develop a device such as a badge that would alert you a seizure is eminent. Because I am pursuing this independently I cannot offer a stipend to participants, but all necessary materials will be provided free of charge. If you are interested but hesitant to contact me, I can assure you I will respect any refusals to participate after consultation. If interested please contact:
