DynamoSort: Using machine learning approaches for the automatic classification of seizure dynamotypes.

Objective: Epilepsy is characterised by unprovoked and recurring seizures, which can be electrically measured using electroencephalograms (EEG). To better understand the underlying mechanisms of seizures, researchers are exploring their temporal dynamics through the lens of dynamical systems modelling. Seizure initiation and termination patterns of spiking amplitude and frequency can be sorted into "dynamotypes", which may be able to serve as biomarkers for intervention.
