OBJECTIVE: Connectivity patterns of interictal epileptiform discharges are all subtle indicators of where the three-dimensional (3D) source of a seizure could be located. These specific patterns are explored in the recorded electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of 20 individuals diagnosed with focal epilepsy to assess how their functional brain maps could be affected by the 3D onset of a seizure.
METHODS: Functional connectivity maps, estimated by phase synchrony among EEG electrodes, were obtained by applying a data-driven recurrence-based method. This is augmented through a novel approach for selecting optimal parameters that produce connectivity matrices that are deemed significant for assessing epileptiform activity in context to the 3D source localization of seizure onset. These functional connectivity matrices were evaluated in different brain areas to gauge the regional effects of the 3D epileptic source.
RESULTS: Empirical evaluations indicate high synchronization in the temporal and frontal areas of the effected epileptic hemisphere, whereas strong links connect the irritated area to frontal and temporal lobes of the opposite hemisphere.
CONCLUSION: Epileptic activity originating in the temporal or frontal areas is seen to affect these areas in both hemispheres.
SIGNIFICANCE: The results obtained express the dynamics of focal epilepsy in context to both the epileptogenic zone and the affected distant areas of the brain.
