Tests were corrected for multiple comparisons across all channels and time points. Statistical analyses were performed at single subject level and group level across different sleep stages for duration and distribution of IEDs. We quantified differences in spatial extent and duration of IEDs at the scalp and cortical levels using HD-EEG source-localization, during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, in six medication-refractory focal epilepsy patients during epilepsy monitoring unit admission.
In this study, we applied high-density EEG recordings (HD-EEG) to quantitatively characterize the fine-grained spatiotemporal distribution of inter-ictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) across different sleep stages.
