Abstract :
This overview presents potential applications of nonlinear time series analysis using EEGs derived from epilepsy patients. Apart from diagnostically oriented topics including localization of epileptic foci in different anatomical locations during the seizure-free interval I discuss possibilities for seizure anticipation which is one of the most challenging aspects of epileptology.
