SEEG/Epileptogenicity maps
Dataset description
License
This tutorial dataset (EEG and MRI data) remains property of the Grenoble University Hospital, France. Its use and transfer outside the ImaGIN and Brainstorm tutorials, e.g. for research purposes, is prohibited without written consent. For questions, please contact Olivier David, PhD ( olivier.david@inserm.fr ).
Clinical description
This dataset includes recordings for a patient that was not reported in the above article, but are part of the same study. The patient presents a focal epilepsy of the left temporo-occipital junction, MRI-negative, and was implanted in the surrounding areas. The subfolder "seeg" contains the recordings of three seizures, all of them showing a propagation of high-frequency oscillations from the lesion towards the temporal lobe, bilaterally.
SEEG recordings
The depth electrodes used in this example dataset are DIXI D08-**AM Microdeep electrodes, with the following specifications:
- Diameter: 0.8 mm
- Contact length: 2 mm
- Insulator length: 1.5 mm
- Distance between the center of two contacts: 3.5 mm
- Between 8 and 18 contacts on each electrode
Files
The dataset we distribute with this tutorial follows the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) standard for neuroimaging data organization. This specification was first established for MRI and fMRI (Gorgolewski, 2016) and then refined with an extension dedicated to iEEG (Holdgraf, 2019). The files that will be imported in this tutorial are the following:
tutorial_epimap_bids/
derivatives/: Everything that cannot be considered as raw data
brainvisa/sub-01_ses-pre/: Result of the BrainVISA 4.5 segmentation for the pre-implantation T1 MRI.
sub-01/: Raw data for subject 01
ses-preimp/: Imaging exams performed before the implantation of the sEEG.
anat/sub-01_ses-preimp_T1w.nii.gz: T1-weighted MRI pre-implantation
ses-postimp/: Exams performed with the sEEG devices implanted.
anat/sub-01_ses-postimp_T1w.nii.gz: T1-weighted MRI post-implantation
ieeg/..._task-seizure_run-0*_ieeg.eeg: Three seizure recordings in BrainVision file format, one seizure per file (with the header files .vhdr and .vmrk)
ieeg/..._space-IXI549Space_electrodes.tsv: Position of the contacts in MNI space (SPM12 Segment non-linear normalization)
ieeg/..._space-ScanRAS_electrodes.tsv: Position of the contacts in world coordinates, relative to the post-implantation T1 MRI.
All the anatomical images have been de-identified with mri_deface from FreeSurfer 6.
