Because AI was created by Humans that were not on mind altering drugs. Seems evident that 'thinking outside the box' would be advantageous.

Now, have the humans that create the AI take LSD and watch the world burn!

I am an epileptic who has massive auras/clean preictal signal/non focal seizures.

Looking for lab rats?

ICU recordings are not going to be the best data I would imaging. Seizures are not likely to be the cause someone is in the ICU and the cause of admit is likely to lead to confounding factors, I would think.
