Abstract. The goal of this paper is to highlight the challenges on the three methods of data analysis, namely: robust, component, and dynamical analysis with respect to the epilepsy. A forward and inverse mapping models for the human brain are presented. Research directions for obtaining robust inverse mapping and conducting dynamical analysis of the epileptic brain are discussed.
Keywords: epilepsy, electroencephalography (EEG), robust measures, blind signal separation, independent component analysis, sparse component analysis, dynamical analysis.
