摘要:Abnormal dynamical coupling between brain structures is believed to be primarily
responsible for the generation of epileptic seizures and their propagation. In this study, we
attempt to identify the spatio-temporal interactions of an epileptic brain using a previously
proposed nonlinear dependency measure. Using a clustering model, we determine the average
spatial mappings in an epileptic brain at different stages of a complex partial seizure. Results
involving 8 seizures from 2 epileptic patients suggest that there may be a fixed pattern associated
with regional spatio-temporal dynamics during the interictal to pre-post-ictal transition.
