OscillInterference Therapeutic Mechanisms and Long Term Effects of Directed Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation in Epileptic Seizures

Coordinator: SZEGEDI TUDOMANYEGYETEM (HU)

A significant proportion of patients with epilepsy are refractive to pharmaceutical treatments. Recurrent, untreated epileptic seizures are associated with risk of adverse neurological, cognitive, and psychological outcomes. Despite years of study, there are still significant barriers to the management of these disorders. In my proposal I advance the hypothesis that time-targeted perturbation of neural network oscillations by transcranial electric stimulation (TES) decreases the duration of seizures. I hypothesize further that spatially focused TES and chronically applied TES intervention can…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €1.4M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2013-11-01 to 2018-10-31.
