چکیده

In epileptic patients candidate to surgery, the interpretation of EEG signals recorded either within (depth EEG) or at the surface (scalp EEG) of the head is a crucial issue to determine epileptogenic brain regions and to define subsequent surgical strategy. This task remains difficult as there is no simple relationship between the spatiotemporal features of neuronal generators (convoluted cortical dipole layers) and the electric field potentials recorded by the electrodes. Indeed, this relationship depends on the complex interaction of several factors regarding involved cortical sources: location, area, geometry, and synchronization of neuronal activity. A computational model is proposed to address this issue. It relies on a neurophysiologically relevant model of EEG signals, which combines an accurate description of both the intracerebral sources of activity and the transfer function between dipole layers and recorded field potentials. The model is used, on the one hand, to quantitatively study the influence of source-related parameters on the properties of simulated signals, and on the other hand, to jointly analyze depth EEG and scalp EEG signals. In this article, the authors review some of the results obtained from the model with respect to the literature on the interpretation of EEG signals in the context of epilepsy.

Combination of Beamforming and Synchronization Methods for Epileptic Source Localization, using Simulated EEG Signals

Localization of sources in patients with focal seizure has recently attracted many attentions. In the severe cases of focal seizure, there is a possibility of doing neurosurgery operation to remove the defected tissue. The prosperity of this heavy operation completely depends on the accuracy of source localization. To increase this accuracy, this paper presents a new weighted beamforming method...

Computational Modeling of Simultaneously Recorded Scalp and Depth Eeg Signals: Insights into the Interpretation of Interictal Epileptic Activity

In epileptic patients candidate to surgery, the interpretation of electrophysiological signals recorded non-invasively (scalp EEG) and invasively (depth EEG) is a difficult but central question. Indeed, the localization of the epileptogenic zone, the determination of its organization and the definition of subsequent therapeutic strategy are still largely based on the analysis of electrophysiolo...

The neuronal sources of EEG: Modeling of simultaneous scalp and intracerebral recordings in epilepsy

In many applications which make use of EEG to investigate brain functions, a central question is often to relate the recorded signals to the spatio-temporal organization of the underlying neuronal sources of activity. A modeling attempt to quantitatively investigate this imperfectly known relationship is reported. The proposed plausible model of EEG generation relies on an accurate representati...

Epileptic Seizure Detection in EEG signals Using TQWT and SVM-GOA Classifier

Background: Epilepsy is a Brain disorder disease that affects people's quality of life. If it is diagnosed at an early stage, it will not be spread. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are used to diagnose epileptic seizures. However, this screening system cannot diagnose epileptic seizure states precisely. Nevertheless, with the help of computer-aided diagnosis systems (CADS), neurologists ca...
