My wife suffers from epilepsy. One of its characteristics is the unpredictability of when the seizures would occur. If this technology can be proven to predict outburst in Autistic folks, perhaps it can be "taught" to forewarn when an epileptic seizure is about to occur as well. In both cases, it would significant improve the quality of life.
