نویسندگان
چکیده
1) The single current dipole moment [strength of the dipole vector in nAm (Q)] 2) The correlation coefficient [the degree of association between the actual measured magnetic field data and the estimated forward solution data (R)] 3) The goodness of fit [the measure of how well the measured magnetic field agrees with the estimated field from an assumed dipole (GoF)] 4) The root mean square (RMS) field value of waveforms across all channels.

Minimum norm estimates in MEG can delineate the onset of interictal epileptic discharges: A comparison with ECoG findings☆
The analysis of epileptic discharges in magnetoencephalography with minimum norm estimates (MNE) is expected to provide more precise localization of epileptic discharges compared with electroencephalographic estimations. However, the clinical feasibility of MNE remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the onset and propagation patterns of interictal spikes using MNE. Seven patients...
متن کاملICA Extracts Epileptic Sources from fMRI in EEG-Negative Patients: A Retrospective Validation Study
Simultaneous EEG-fMRI has proven to be useful in localizing interictal epileptic activity. However, the applicability of traditional GLM-based analysis is limited as interictal spikes are often not seen on the EEG inside the scanner. Therefore, we aim at extracting epileptic activity purely from the fMRI time series using independent component analysis (ICA). To our knowledge, we show for the f...

0278-6648/03/$17.00 © 2003 IEEE IEEE POTENTIALS he electroencephalogram (EEG) signal has a wide range of applications in the humancomputer interface research areas. Its main application as a diagnostic tool is in the evaluation of cerebral function, especially in epilepsy, states of trauma and coma or cerebral infections. Electroencephalographers have traditionally performed the detection of in...
متن کاملMagnetoencephalographic mapping of interictal spike propagation: a technical and clinical report.
Distinguishing propagated epileptic activity from primary epileptic foci is of critical importance in presurgical evaluation of patients with medically intractable focal epilepsy. We studied an 11-year-old patient with complex partial epilepsy by using simultaneous magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG). In EEG, bilateral interictal discharges appeared synchronous, wherea...
متن کاملIctal behaviors during nonepileptic seizures differ in patients with temporal lobe interictal epileptiform EEG activity and patients without interictal epileptiform EEG abnormalities.
PURPOSE Ictal behaviors during psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (NES) vary considerably among individuals, and can closely resemble common semiologies of epileptic seizures (ES). We tested the hypothesis that behaviors during NES in patients who have temporal spikes would more closely resemble behaviors during ES in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy than would behaviors during NES in patien...
