Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to test the potential of auto-regressive model residual modulation (ARRm), an artefact-insensitive method based on non-harmonicity of the high-frequency signal, to identify epileptogenic tissue during surgery. METHODS: Intra-operative electrocorticography (ECoG) of 54 patients with refractory focal epilepsy were recorded pre- and post-resection at 2048Hz. The ARRm was calculated in one-minute epochs in which high-frequency oscillations (HFOs; fast ripples, 250-500Hz; ripples, 80-250Hz) and spikes were marked. We investigated the pre-resection fraction of HFOs and spikes explained by the ARRm (h(2)-index). A general ARRm threshold was set and used to compare the ARRm to surgical outcome in post-resection ECoG (Pearson X(2)). RESULTS: ARRm was associated strongest with the number of fast ripples in pre-resection ECoG (h(2)=0.80, P0.47 were associated with poor outcome at channel and patient level (both P
