Abstract: Cognitive impairments, including attention deficits are prevalent among children with epilepsy. The lecture will discuss multi-factorial causes of cognitive impairments with a focus on the role of transient effects of single interictal discharges. Novel approaches to rescue cognitive deficits through AI-informed closed loop stimulation paradigms will be discussed with a view towards improved cognitive outcomes in affected children.
