FieldTrip - the toolbox for MEG, EEG and iEEG

We conducted a prospective, single-center observational study to evaluate a real-time patient–artificial intelligence (AI) interface for clinical utility and usability (see Methods for detailed study procedures). Thirteen adult EMU inpatients undergoing continuous EEG monitoring to characterize seizures for presurgical evaluation were enrolled (scalp EEG, n = 11; iEEG, n = 2; Table 1 and Supplementary Fig. 1) without altering standard-of-care treatment. Throughout their EMU stay, participants were encouraged to interact with the platform and provide feedback on their experience. Device platform The platform comprises the following three systems: (1) software that extracts real-time EEG data and metadata from the hospital network; (2) a HIPAA-compliant cloud analytics environment that analyzes the data stream; and (3) a smartphone app with integrated conversational AI for bidirectional communication. The system messaged patients to deliver clinical information, alerts and surveys, while patients used the app to query their physiological data, explore trends and annotate symptoms to provide labels for seizure-detection algorithms (Fig. 1). Patients received surveys thrice daily (morning, afternoon and evening; consisting of 10–15 questions about mood, anxiety, sleep, energy level and well-being; Supplementary Tables 4–7). Real-time EEG data streamed from the hospital network to the cloud infrastructure, where pretrained models extracted seizure probabilities...

How semantic information influences phonetic processing during speech perception remains unclear. Here, the authors show that semantic predictions reshape phonetic representations in human temporal co...
