Summary

Dense array electroencephalography (dEEG) accurately detects and localizes epilepsy interictal spikes. This 256-channel dEEG method shows promise for presurgical evaluation, potentially reducing the need for invasive intracranial EEG (icEEG).

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging
  • Epileptology

Background:

  • Dense array electroencephalography (dEEG) offers high spatial and temporal resolution for electrical source imaging.
  • Clinical utility of dEEG in epilepsy presurgical evaluation is recognized, but validation of its source imaging accuracy is needed.
  • Simultaneous scalp dEEG and intracranial EEG (icEEG) recording provides a method to validate dEEG source localization accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy of 256-channel dEEG for electrical source estimation of interictal spikes.
  • To compare non-invasive dEEG source localization with direct intracranial EEG (icEEG) measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Simultaneous scalp 256-channel dEEG and icEEG recordings were performed in four epilepsy surgical candidates.

  • Interictal spikes detected by icEEG were analyzed for their presence and localization in the dEEG data.
  • dEEG-estimated spike sources were compared with icEEG-recorded activity.

    • Main Results:

    • 54% of 287 icEEG-measured interictal spikes were visually detected by 256-channel dEEG.
    • dEEG spike amplitudes showed a significant correlation with icEEG spike amplitudes (p < 0.01).
    • All spikes detected by dEEG were correctly localized to the same lobe as indicated by icEEG.

    Conclusions:

    • 256-channel dEEG reliably detects interictal spikes and localizes their sources with reasonable accuracy.
    • This non-invasive dEEG approach may be clinically valuable for epilepsy presurgical workup.
    • The findings suggest that 256-channel dEEG could potentially reduce the requirement for invasive EEG evaluations.
