-People with epilepsy respond to treatment approximately 70% of the time.

-In many parts of the world, people with epilepsy and their families suffer from stigma and discrimination.
*WHO fact sheet about epilepsy

There are many people in the world who suffer from epilepsy but no treatment can cured them and they may have a seizure unpredictably any time. This problem applies many limits on their life and they must live in discrimination.
epilepsy master is an developing open-source system that predicts an upcoming seizure, and then prevents it by brain stimulating or using fast react drugs and ...

I'm going to divide this project to 3 sub projects:

phase alpha: developing a reliable algorithm for seizure predicting:

https://hackaday.io/project/7698-epilepsy-master-alpha

phase beta: developing an electrical small implantable device to record EEG data continuously and process it to predict (and prevent) upcoming seizure.

phase gamma: convert and compile phase alpha algorithm on phase beta device

I started phase alpha and after some procedures i find a reliable algorithm developed by QMSDP team that is winner of kaggle seizure predicting challenge( http://blog.kaggle.com/2015/01/26/american-epilepsy-society-seizure-prediction-challenge/). you can see complete project here:
https://github.com/drewabbot/kaggle-seizure-prediction/
i decide to use some parts of it for initial and start the project second part.
now I'm going to focus and phase beta to develop a electrical device for recording EEG continuously.
