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
