Special Session 3
Advanced Multimodal Network Approaches in Epilepsy: Localization, Prediction, and Neuromodulation

Organizer
Prof. Guixia Kang, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China

Epilepsy, as a network-based brain disorder, requires innovative strategies to tackle challenges in lesion localization, seizure prediction, and targeted neuromodulation. This special session at ICBBE 2025 aims to showcase cutting-edge research integrating multimodal neuroimaging, electrophysiological data, and computational modeling to unravel epilepsy's complex network dynamics. We invite contributions focusing on adult and pediatric populations, emphasizing translational applications for precision medicine. Topics include novel biomarkers, AI-driven analysis, closed-loop neuromodulation systems, and cross-scale network modeling. The session will foster collaboration among clinicians, engineers, and computational neuroscientists to bridge gaps between research and clinical practice in epilepsy management.
