Seizures recur in half of patients who undergo epilepsy surgery. Presurgical workup mainly focuses on seizures, but only partially helps predicting outcomes, even after invasive electroencephalography. We conceived a generalizable model to detect epileptogenic networks through connectivity changes and identified the crucial role of the transition from pre-seizure to seizure, achieving the highest outcome prediction (93%) to date in a chronological cohort of 21 patients with 3-year follow-up or more.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
