<strong><span style="font-family:McGillSans-Regular">Abstract</span></strong>: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, affecting over 60 million people worldwide, with a burden comparable to breast and lung cancer. First-line
 treatments include anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs), but if ineffective, options like surgical resection or brain stimulation are considered. Despite available treatments, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment can take years, leading to stigma, side effects,
 and costly hospital stays. The absence of reliable biomarkers complicates management. This talk explores leveraging brain imaging data and dynamic network modeling to identify reliable epileptogenic biomarkers.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
