4th Dianalund Summer School on Electroencephalogram (EEG) & Epilepsy

4th Dianalund Summer School on Electroencephalogram (EEG) & Epilepsy is organized by International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) and will be held from Jul 15 - 21, 2018 at Danish Epilepsy Centre, Dianalund, Zealand, Denmark.

Advanced, interactive, practically-oriented course on EEG and its application in the field of epilepsy with many hands-on sessions.

Course Description :
The main idea of the course is to bridge the gap between epileptologists and neurophysiologists. Therefore, topics both in the realm of signal analysis and topics related to seizure semiology and clinical significance of EEG findings will be covered. The theoretical presentations (in the morning) will be supplemented by EEG-reading sessions, where the participants will be guided through video-EEG samples by the tutors. The last day of the course will be dedicated to a discussion of difficult cases brought by the participants.

Main Topics:
• Cellular origin of the EEG signals Digital EEG: technical aspects
• Equivalent current dipoles Montages and voltage maps Source localization
• Background activity: qualitative and quantitative assessment
• Interictal epileptiform discharges: spike-generation and propagation
• Reporting the findings
• Normal variants
• Seizure semiology
• Seizure classification
• Long-term video EEG monitoring
• Polygraphic recordings
• Ictal EEG activity
• Intracranial recordings
• EEG in status epilepticus
• EEG in critically ill patients
• High Density EEG
• Differential diagnosis: sleep disorders
• Specific aspects of EEG in neonates and infants
• Thalamocortical dysrhythmias
• Effect of medication on the EEG

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
