Epimap tutorial dataset

Description

This dataset includes recordings for a patient that was not reported in associated articles ([David_2011], [Lamarche_2016]), but is 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.

Data files

The dataset is stored in a folder called “Epimap tutorial dataset” located inside the “tutorial_data” folder accessible from the Private Space. It includes the following files:

  • /anat/MRI/3DT1*_deface.nii: Subject T1 MRI before and after SEEG implantation, de-identified with FreeSurfer’s mri_deface

  • /anat/MRI/brainvisa: Cortical surface extracted with BrainVISA 4.5

  • /anat/implantation/*.txt: Positions of the sEEG contacts in various formats (MNI coordinates or subjecy coordinates)

  • /seeg/SZ*.TRC: Seizure recordings in Micromed format, one seizure per file

It can also be downloaded from the original publisher on f-tract.eu.

Electrode description

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
