The algorithm of Epilepsy: merging theatre with Epilepsy

The algorithm of Epilepsy is an original theatre play about EEG Epilepsy Seizure Prediction. This play is a collaboration between the Department of Informatics Engineering of the University of Coimbra and Marionet theatre company (https://marioneteatro.com/en).

Full details on: https://marioneteatro.com/en/productions/o-algoritmo-da-epilepsia

The play was presented to the public on a season of 5 shows in Teatro da Cerca de São Bernardo, Coimbra, Portugal, from 28 June until 2 July.

This GitHub presents some creative processes concerning computer simulation, EEG, and complex systems. Each folder has its readme file to provide more context.

  • Ictogenesis: computational simulations on brains with Epilepsy that generate seizures and interictal epileptiform activity;
  • Game of Life: computational simulations of the famous John Conway's Game of Life, as a metaphor for neurons in a microscope and life, as a complex system;
  • Fireflies: computational simulations of neurons firing and synchronizing, as a metaphor for neurons firing in the hippocampus;
  • Reading EEG: a classic for all of those who work with EEG.
