ABSTRACT
On the topic of obstacles to seizure prediction, from a summary of informal discussions at the Third International Seizure Prediction Workshop in Freiburg, Zaveri, Frei, and Osario noted that, “put bluntly, . . . it is not necessarily possible to predict states of a dynamical system on the basis of a limited amount of measurements” (Zaveri et al. 2008). This chapter seeks to formally investigate what it is we can expect to glean from the electroencephalogram (EEG) toward the effort of seizure prediction.
