Understanding Epileptic Activity Propagation Through Multimodal Neuroimaging
About the webinar
This talk will present recent advances in understanding epileptic activity propagation using multimodal neuroimaging. It will cover how EEG, MEG, MRI, and source imaging can be integrated to reconstruct the spatiotemporal dynamics of epileptic discharges and estimate effective brain connectivity. The presentation will discuss the clinical value of these approaches in identifying epileptogenic networks, improving presurgical evaluation, and providing quantitative biomarkers to support diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized treatment in drug-resistant epilepsy.
