Researchers have developed an AI system that analyzes brain activity and applies a predictive model at the same time to predict epileptic seizures with 99.6 % accuracy, up to an hour before they occur. The system would give patients with epilepsy time to prepare for the seizure by taking medication. The AI system uses a deep learning algorithm and constitutes a major leap forward from current prediction methods. While it will take some time before the system is available for widespread use - it promises life-changing news for people suffering from epilepsy. 

Existing methods of prediction use an EEG (electroencephalogram) to analyze brain activity and only afterwards apply a predictive model. The new AI system was developed by Magby Bayoumi and Hisham Daoud at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in the United States. 

The World Health Organization estimates that there are close to 50 million patients around the world that have epilepsy, and 70% of those can control their seizures with medication.

Singles' Day, the annual online shopping event from Chinese giant Alibaba, has broken last year's record of $30 billion in sales within the first 16.5 hours of the 24 hour event. Sales hit $1 billion within the first minute and eight seconds, and Alibaba expects over 500 million users to make purchases during this year's event. For perspective, the online shopping event brings in the equivalent of over 80% of Amazon's online store sales from the last quarter in just 24 hours. 

Singles Day Facts:
  • More than 90% of purchases on Singles' Day occur on mobile phones.
  • More than one billion delivery orders were received during last years event
  • Compared to 6 m 7s in 2013, it took just 21 seconds for sales to hit $140 million last year

Singles Day began in 2009 and is today by far the biggest online sales event worldwide, regularly beating out Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales combined (Cyber Monday in the United States took in $7.8 billion last year). This is the first time the event is being held without Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma, who stepped down this September as chairman to "start a new life."
