Dr. Millett is a board-certified neurologist specializing in seizures,
epilepsy and electroencephalography (EEG). He received his BA from the
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and obtained both his MD
and PhD in 2001 from the University of Chicago. Dr. Millett returned to
his native Southern California for his medical internship, neurology residency
and two-year subspecialty training fellowship in Epilepsy and EEG at UCLA.
In 2007, Dr. Millett joined the faculty of Keck School of Medicine at
USC and was given the task of establishing an epilepsy monitoring program
to provide advanced epilepsy care for thousands of underserved patients
within the Los Angeles Department of Health Services. Under Dr. Millett's
guidance the epilepsy program at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation
flourished, providing an array of services such as inpatient video-EEG
monitoring, intracranial video-EEG monitoring, neuroimaging, neurocognitive
evaluation, and epilepsy surgery. This program received a special Merit
Award from the County of Los Angeles in 2011, the same year Dr. Millett
was recognized as the Earl I. Feldhorn Pediatric Epilepsy Faculty at the
Keck School of Medicine at USC for his efforts to provide advanced epilepsy
care to children with epilepsy.
Dr. Millett relocated to the Hoag Neurosciences Institute in 2014 where
he is the director of the epilepsy program, and maintains an active role
in research and education through his position as Adjunct Assistant Professor
of Clinical Neurology in the Keck School of Medicine in USC. He is currently
involved in numerous epilepsy-related research studies and edicational
projects including the use of brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies
to analyze epileptogenic circuits in the human hippocampus and the cortical
control movement with colleagues at USC and UCI. Dr. Millett is also completing
a book on the role of electroencephaolography in the historical development
of neuroscience, and he is developing a Web-based Atlas of EEG for training
and education.
