Abstract: | ObjectiveA novel analytic approach for task-related high-gamma modulation (HGM) in stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) was developed and evaluated for language mapping.MethodsSEEG signals, acquired from drug-resistant epilepsy patients during a visual naming task, were analyzed to find clusters of 50–150 Hz power modulations in time–frequency domain. Classifier models to identify electrode contacts within the reference neuroanatomy and electrical stimulation mapping (ESM) speech/language sites were developed and validated.ResultsIn 21 patients (9 females), aged 4.8–21.2 years, SEEG HGM model predicted electrode locations within Neurosynth language parcels with high diagnostic odds ratio (DOR 10.9, p < 0.0001), high specificity (0.85), and fair sensitivity (0.66). Another SEEG HGM model classified ESM speech/language sites with significant DOR (5.0, p < 0.0001), high specificity (0.74), but insufficient sensitivity. Time to largest power change reliably localized electrodes within Neurosynth language parcels, while, time to center-of-mass power change identified ESM sites.ConclusionsSEEG HGM mapping can accurately localize neuroanatomic and ESM language sites.SignificancePredictive modelling incorporating time, frequency, and magnitude of power change is a useful methodology for task-related HGM, which offers insights into discrepancies between HGM language maps and neuroanatomy or ESM. |
