Ass. Prof Lars Pinborg and Prof Gitte Moos Knudsen participated in the third episode of DR K’s documentary “Død og pine: Lægevidenskabens Historie” which was about the history of medicine and the development within epilepsy treatment and brain imaging. The episode was broadcasted March 1, 2017, but can be seen here: https://www.dr.dk/tv/se/doed-og-pine/-/doed-og-pine-laegevidenskabens-historie-3#!

PhD student Mette Thrane Foged has in a small video clip explained about new studies with a recently developed and refined EEG cap, which with an unprecedented precision can show where in the human brain the epilepsy occurs. Information which is highly relevant for doctors when deciding whether or not a given epilepsy patient should be offered a surgical procedure.
