Abstract

This work introduces an algorithm for localization of the seizure onset zone (SOZ) of epileptic patients based on electrocorticography (ECoG) recordings. The algorithm represents the set of electrodes using a directed graph in which nodes correspond to recording electrodes, while the edge weights are the pair-wise causal influence. This causal influence is quantified by estimating the pair-wise directed information functional. The SOZ is inferred from the graph by identifying nodes which act as sources of causal influence. Results based on several datasets show a close match between the inferred SOZ and the SOZ estimated by expert neurologists.
