Abstract

Dynamic changes in the regularity of interictal gamma oscillations (GOs, 30-70 Hz) on intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) reflect focal ictogenesis with epileptogenic neuronal synchronization in focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). We investigated whether the regularity of interictal GOs is a biomarker of the seizure onset zone (SOZ) using multiscale entropy analysis.
