Abstract

Epilepsy is a cranial condition that is described by recurrent seizures. The abnormality is because of an unevenness in the grey region of  the brain. This can be because of different reasons ranging from hereditary to various degree of damages to brain. The locale of impact shifts with patients relying upon the nature of afflication. Oral Medication though is viable in controlling the common seizures; however it's anything but a temporary fix. A compelling and long time arrangement is carefully identifying the affected region. The distinguishing proof of the presence of the seizure area helps the surgeon in restoring the specific uninfected region greatly. A novel strategy, Enhanced relative K based Numbering Out of Time Slices (erKNOTS) calculation is applied on the Resting state Functional Magnetic Resonance Image to recognize the inconsistency in the ordinary stream. The results are yielding and shows promising outcomes in defining the seizure affected region. The erKNOTS approves the results of Regional Homogeneity and Amplitude of Low Frequency Fluctuations.
