Theoretical foundation for digital space of flat electroencephalogram

Epilepsy is one of the most common disorders of the brain characterized by recurrent seizures. Epileptic seizure, which is caused by abnormal electrical activity in brain can be measured by using Magnetoencephalogram (MEG) and Electroencephalogram (EEG). MEG measures magnetic field whereas EEG measu...
