Disruption of EEG resting state functional connectivity in patients with focal epilepsy
Mostafa M. Elkholy
Abstract:Background
Epilepsy is a network disease and EEG could be used to evaluate dynamic inter-regional connectivity. The aim of the current study is to explore disruption of resting state EEG functional connectivity in focal epilepsy using coherence and phase lag degree. This cross-sectional study included 30 patients with focal epilepsy and 30 matched healthy controls. One to two minutes of EEG segmented into 2-s epochs during awake eye-closed state were analyzed using fast Fourier transform to yie… Show more
