Abstract
This work deals with the interpretation of electrophysiological patients recorded in epileptic patients candidate to surgery. This issue is addressed through a physiologically relevant model for the generation of scalp and intracerebral electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. The proposed model is based on a spatiotemporal representation of the sources of brain activity, which combines a distributed dipole source model and a model of coupled neuronal populations. Signals recorded by sensors (scalp and intracerebral) are then computed by solving the forward problem in the head volume conductor. In this paper, the EEG generation model is used to study the influence of some source-related parameters (spatial extent, position, synchronization) on simulated signals, during epileptic transient activity (interictal spikes). Results show that the model allows for studying, on the one hand, the relationship between the spatiotemporal organization of neuronal sources and the properties of the observed signals and, on the other hand, the relationship between surface and depth EEG signals.
