We report on a quantitative analysis of electrocorticography data from a study that acquired
continuous ambulatory recordings in humans over extended periods of time. The objectives …

Epileptic seizures of focal origin often occur unpredictably as do interictal spikes. It is often
assumed that spikes increase prior to seizures of focal origin and that antiepileptic …

Interictal spikes are periodic, very brief bursts of neuronal activity that are observed in the
electroencephalogram of patients with chronic epilepsy. These spikes are useful …

In patients with focal epilepsy, EEG spike rate fluctuates considerably over time. We had
previously shown that seizure occurrence played an important role in these fluctuations. We …

Purpose: Electrocorticograms of 32 patients with medically intractable seizures, recorded
through intracranial electrodes, were retrospectively analyzed. The objective was to assess …

Purpose: The physiological, pathological, and clinical meaning of interictal spikes (IISs)
remains controversial. We systematically analyzed the frequency, occurrence, and …

Interictal spikes are brief paroxysmal electrographic discharges observed between
spontaneous recurrent seizures in epileptic patients. The relationship between interictal …

We studied 10 patients with intractable epilepsy being evaluated for epilepsy surgery for
preictal changes in spiking. All patients were implanted with intracranial electrodes and …

The location of interictal spikes is used to aid surgical planning in patients with medically
refractory epilepsy; however, their spatial and temporal dynamics are poorly understood. In …

Interictal spiking is seen in the EEG of epileptic patients between seizures. To date, the roles
played by interictal events in seizure occurrence and in epileptogenesis remain elusive …
