Epilepsy affects more than 50 million people worldwide. Despite multiple attempts to control seizure activity with medication, three million Americans suffer from recurrent, spontaneous epileptic seizures, the onset of which cannot be predicted or detected in advance. A team of researchers from Penn and the Mayo Clinic has challenged the best minds in science and "machine learning" to improve devices to treat epilepsy with two competitions to detect and predict seizure onset.
