Multimodal, noninvasive seizure network mapping software: A novel tool for preoperative epilepsy evaluation.

CONCLUSIONS: This modeling algorithm allows better definition of the global brain network and potentially demonstrates differences in connectivity between an epileptic and a non-epileptic brain. This finding may be useful for mapping cortico-cortical connections representing the putative epilepsy networks. With this methodology, we localized the epileptogenic brain and showed network asymmetry and long-distance cortical co-activation. This software tool is the first to use a multimodal, nonconcurrent, and noninvasive approach to model and visualize the epilepsy network.
