High Frequency activity in infants with epilepsy (NIH/NICHD)
This project will characterize the high frequency activity found with some interictal spikes. It has been proposed that high frequency activity may differentiate between interictal spikes that originate from the seizure onset zone and those that originate from irritative zones. We have identified high frequency activity associated with some interictal spikes using the prototype babySQUID® MEG system. We will use this device to better characterize this activity to help determine if it is a noninvasive marker for the seizure onset zone in infants.
