Infraslow Envelope Analysis Holds Promise in Predicting Seizures
Epilepsia; 2018 Nov; Joshi et al.

Analyzing infraslow amplitude modulations may help clinicians better understand changes in intracranial EEG readings over the long-term and help researchers develop better algorithms to forecast the onset of seizures, according to a report published in Epilepsia.

  • Investigators from Yale-New Haven Hospital collected intracranial EEG readings from 13 adult patients with medically refractory epilepsy.
  • To derive infraslow envelope correlations, they estimated magnitude-squared coherence at <0.15 Hz of EEG frequency band power time series for all electrode contact pairs.
  • Infraslow envelope magnitude-squared coherence increased significantly after patients had their antiepileptic drugs tapered; it also increased at night and decreased during the day.
