UL Lafayette researchers develop technology that can predict an epileptic seizure in a patient up to an hour before it happens with a 99 percent rate of accuracy.
Epileptic patients face a precarious life in which seizures can strike at any moment, often without warning. Dr. Magdy Bayoumi (Mag-Dee Buy-oo-me) says their invention looks set to relieve a lot of stress…
Cut 4 (10) “treatment.”
Bayoumi says the easily portable detection system involves placing a detection device on a patient’s head that scans their brainwaves for suspicious activities…
Cut 5 (10) “…predict.”
Bayoumi says they haven’t figure out the best way yet to attach the device to a patient’s head, but suspects it will likely be via a headband or cap.
The device on the person’s head will sync up to an app that is accessible not just by the patient, but by anyone the patient wants to keep in the loop…
Cut 6 (09) “seizure”
The technology was tested on 22 patients at Boston Children’s Hospital, which produced the 99 percent rate of accuracy.

Former LSU frat member Matthew Naquin who was found guilty of negligent homicide in the 2017 hazing death of Max Gruver is scheduled for sentencing today. Judge Beau Higginbotham previously sentenced two others involved in the death to the maximum sentence, but legal analyst Franz Borghardt says its uncertain what the judge will do today.
Cut 7 (11) “…the maximum sentence.”
Borghardt says the judge is known to give reasonable sentences and many were surprised he gave maximum sentences to the two others involved in the case. The judge does have the authority to give Naquin felony probation.
Cut 8 (08) “…some jail time.”
Borghardt does not anticipate the judge attempting to send a message about hazing with this sentencing.
Cut 9 (10) “…of the judge.”
Gruver died of alcohol poisoning to following a frat ritual.
