Elizabeth Felton

Elizabeth Felton, M.D., Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with additional affiliations in Neurology and the School of Medicine and Public Health. She is a board-certified neurologist specializing in epilepsy, focusing on dietary therapies, women's health issues in epilepsy, and surgical evaluation.

• Education: MD from University of Wisconsin-Madison, residency in Neurology at Johns Hopkins Hospital, fellowship in Epilepsy at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Her research interests include the relationship between menstrual cycles, seizures, and ketosis in women on dietary treatments for epilepsy, as well as developing quantitative EEG, neuroimaging, and neuropsychological testing to optimize dietary therapy outcomes. Her work explores brain-computer interfaces and neuroergonomics, aiming to improve EEG/ECoG-based systems and understand seizure dynamics. Recent publications highlight advancements in modified Atkins diet efficacy, responsive neurostimulation integration, and machine learning applications in epilepsy diagnostics. She has also investigated real-world cannabidiol retention and pediatric-to-adult transitions in ketogenic therapies. Despite no listed scientific awards, her contributions span clinical practice, dietary interventions, and neurotechnology.
