How epileptic seizures start is unclear. Mark Richardson, professor of epilepsy, Institute of Psychiatry, is working on elucidating this question using computational models. He talks Markus Reuber, professor of clinical neurology, University of Sheffield, through his research.

This podcast was recorded at the British NeuroPsychiatry Association’s 2013 AGM. For more information on the association and next year’s meeting, see bnpa.org.uk.
