Literature-Guided Minimax Optimization of Virtual Epilepsy Neurostimulation

arXiv:2606.04339v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computational models of epilepsy promise patient-specific treatment design, but most optimization workflows still search for parameters that perform well on average. In neuromodulation, this is a weak target: a protocol that improves the mean response can still fail in the patient whose network is least tolerant to stimulation. We present a literature-guided minimax pipeline that couples PubMed-scale hypothesis extraction, The Virtual Brain (TVB) Epileptor simulations, and large-language-model-guided black-box optimization. The optimizer proposes

Why this matters
Why now

The convergence of advanced AI, large language models, and computational neuroscience tools like The Virtual Brain is enabling new frontiers in personalized medicine optimization.

Why it’s important

This development represents a significant step towards patient-specific, AI-driven medical treatments, moving beyond 'average' responses to highly individualized care.

What changes

Clinicians will have access to optimization tools that can design neurostimulation protocols tailored to individual patient responses, potentially increasing treatment efficacy and reducing adverse outcomes.
