Seizure Forecasting with Non-invasive and Minimally Invasive Mobile Devices: The Epilepsy Foundation’s My Seizure Gauge Study

Seizure unpredictability is consistently reported as one of the most disabling aspects of living with chronic epilepsy. Reliable forecasting systems could have far-reaching consequences for patients, from allowing protection at times of high seizure risk to improving confidence during everyday life at times of low seizure risk.

Prefrontal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Patients with Disorders of Consciousness: A Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Sham-Controlled Clinical Trial

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has shown to transiently improve the level of consciousness of severely brain-injured patients in disorders of consciousness, and seems to be effective especially for patients in minimally conscious state (MCS) compared with patients in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome.
