Using algorithms to analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns could rapidly diagnose brain blood vessel pathology indicating the potential for Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury and stroke.
The new method from Dr. Dan Milikovsky and Prof. Alon Friedman at the Zlotowski Center for Neuroscience at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev is based on Friedman’s discovery that patients with these brain conditions display nonconvulsive epileptic seizure-like activity that can be detected by EEG recordings.

What is arguably the earliest inscribed clay seal impression from the Land of Israel used at the court of Israelite King Jeroboam II has been authenticated after years of strict laboratory testing under the supervision of Ben-Gurion University Prof. Yuval Goren. The inscribed clay, known as a bulla, was purchased without provenance from a Bedouin antiquities merchant in the 1980s and is now thought to be from Jeroboam II’s 8th century BCE reign.
