Dyslexia, epilepsy and Parkinson's are among the most critical neurological disorders. Dyslexia is a brain disorder that is associated with a disability to read, which affects both the behavior and the learning abilities of children. Epilepsy, however, is a brain disorder in which clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain sometimes signal abnormally. This can cause epileptic seizures that can result in physical injuries. Parkinson's, meanwhile, is a neurological disorder that affects dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra brain region. This develops symptoms that progress over time, including tremor, slowness of movement, limb rigidity, and balance problems. This book explores these neurological disorders through topics such as real-time epilepsy prediction applied on EEG pediatric data; delineation of epileptogenic zone; behavioral and biological correlates and treatment of dyslexia; potential biomarkers of Parkinson's disease; Rett Syndrome; and automatic assessment of motor impairments for Parkinson's disease. This is an essential reference for students and researchers in medical imaging, brain imaging, image processing, and neurology.

Klappentext
This book focuses on major trends and challenges in the area of dyslexia, epilepsy and Parkinson's, and aims to identify new techniques and their applications in biomedical analysis. This fifth volume on neurological disorders explores topics such as real-time epilepsy prediction applied on EEG pediatric data; delineation of epileptogenic zone; behavioral and biological correlates and treatment of dyslexia; potential biomarkers of Parkinson's disease; Rett Syndrome; and automatic assessment of motor impairments for Parkinson's disease. This is an essential reference for students and researchers in medical imaging, brain imaging, image processing, and neurology.
