Traditionally, for the web-based application provider to perform data filtering of the inputted information by the user, the web-based application provider has to provision (i.e., install and/or maintain and/or update) the data filtering mechanism.

As the worldwide web continues to evolve, so do the types of malicious threats. Therefore, not only does the web-based application provider initially have to install an input filtering mechanism, but also has to continuously update and maintain the filtering mechanism. The amount of resources required to properly install and maintain such a filtering mechanism may be out of reach for some entities. Similar considerations exist with respect to installing and maintaining the access control mechanism.
As mentioned, an alternative approach requires the user to install and maintain client-based data filtering mechanism and/or access control mechanism to perform data filtering and/or access control at the client browser.

The present invention is directed to predicting the onset of epileptic seizures, and more specifically to a method and apparatus for automatically interpreting information representing the activity of the brain so as to predict the onset of a seizure in order to alert a patient of the possibility of an impending seizure and/or to take preventative actions to avert a seizure.
Epilepsy affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States and approximately 2% of the population worldwide. Of those affected by the disease, approximately one-third have seizures that cannot be controlled by medication or cured by surgery. Epilepsy surgery requires locating the region of the brain where seizure onset occurs and the pathways through which the seizures spread, a process that is not completely accurate and reliable. Moreover, epilepsy surgery is accompanied by the inherent risk of neurologic injury, disfigurement and other complications. Some individuals have epileptic seizures that cannot be controlled by standard medication, are inoperable because seizure onset is not localized, or originate from vital areas of the brain which cannot be surgically removed.
