Research Focus
Dr. Farrah Jasmine Mateen's lab focuses on improving access to epilepsy diagnosis in underserved populations. The team works on developing artificial intelligence tools that can help non-specialists accurately interpret EEG results, a crucial part of diagnosing epilepsy. By training AI algorithms and creating risk assessment tools, the lab aims to provide reliable diagnostic services in locations where expert care is limited, improving outcomes for many individuals affected by epilepsy.
