How Wearable EEG Could Predict Migraines: An Interview with Annemijn Oosterlee

Migraines affect over one billion people worldwide, yet predicting when the next attack will strike remains one of neurology's unsolved challenges. What if your brain could warn you before the pain begins?

We sat down with Annemijn Oosterlee, PhD candidate at Leiden University Medical Center, who is investigating —alongside her research team— whether wearable EEG technology can detect subtle shifts in brain activity in the hours before a migraine hits, to learn about the science, challenges, and what this could mean for the millions living with migraine.
