We use it for automated seizure detection in EEG data. Most seizures have no clinical manifestation (e.g., shaking or trembling), and if a seizure goes on too long (~30 minutes) the patient can suffer permanent brain damage or even die. This is particularly problematic for patients in the ICU since they tend to seize silently more often and it isn't easy to tell that they are seizing without having a neurologist examine the EEG data. We also use machine learning for detecting other features of EEG data and removing artifacts. (Eye blinks, for example, cause big artifacts.)
