For patients, families, and the general public

Plain-language material explaining epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder, and the science behind our research — written for a general audience, not a scientific one.

We're building this section to share accessible explanations of the conditions we study and the research process itself — things like "what is a seizure," "what does GABA do," or "what animal models actually involve." Check back as we add material, or get in touch if there's something specific you'd find useful.

Simulator: can you spot where a focal seizure starts?

An interactive simulation of a focal epileptic seizure, generated in real time from a coupled excitatory/inhibitory population model. Adjust inhibition strength and test how quickly you can spot where the seizure begins. Currently available in Spanish only.
