Abstract

Electric source imaging allows localization of sources in the brain underlying frequency-associated EEG patterns detected on the scalp EEG. New algorithms have substantially improved the localization power of the EEG. Dynamic imaging of coherent sources (DICS) is one of these solutions. This algorithm uses a spatial filter to map power and coherence estimates of oscillatory brain activity. In this focus article, we explain the DICS method and summarize studies representing the ability of DICS to detect cortical and subcortical electric sources and neuronal networks associated with absence seizures, photoparoxysmal responses and hypsarrhythmia. By applying renormalized partial directed coherence (RPDC), the information flow between 2 sources can be described, which contributes to a better understanding of networks underlying different forms of epilepsy.
