Objective
The ERC Galvani project aims to revolutionize transcranial electrical brain stimulation (tES) therapy for epilepsy through a
computational breakthrough. By combining the expertise of clinical researchers and computational neuroscientists, the project will
develop personalized brain stimulation solutions integrating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and stereoelectroencephalography
(SEEG) data into advanced brain models. Neuroelectrics, a leader in medical neurotechnology, is implementing these solutions in a
pipeline that transforms patient data into individualized brain models and optimized tES protocols in focal epilepsy. However,
algorithms are highly dependent on the availability of high-quality MRI data and require time-consuming manual processing. Clinical
translation at scale faces two key challenges: first, image head cropping and uneven data quality in MRI scans, and second, brain
lesions, which deviate from normal anatomy and require manual segmentation by trained operators. These result in a more complex,
time-consuming, and costly personalization process. To overcome these obstacles on the path from ground-breaking research to
innovation, the SWIFT project introduces an AI-based deep learning approach that enhances MRI data quality and automates the
handling of anatomical alterations, such as brain lesions, improving model accuracy and reducing processing time. To ensure
translation into innovation, the project will develop a business strategy that addresses productization, regulatory, intellectual
property, and commercialization challenges toward the goal of making model-driven tES therapy more scalable, cost-effective, and
accessible to a broader range of epilepsy patients.
