Abstract

High frequency oscillations (HFOs) are novel biomarker of epileptogenic tissue. HFOs are currently used to localize the seizure generating areas of the brain, delineate the resection and to monitor the disease activity. It is well established that spatiotemporal dynamics of HFOs can be modified by sleep-wake cycle. In this study we aimed to evaluate in detail circadian and ultradian changes in HFO dynamics using techniques of automatic HFO detection. For this purpose we have developed and implemented novel algorithm to automatic detection and analysis of HFOs in long-term intracranial recordings of six patients. In 5/6 patients HFO rates significantly increased during NREM sleep. The largest NREM related increase in HFO rates were observed in brain areas which spatially overlapped with seizure onset zone. Analysis of long-term recording revealed existence of ultradian changes in HFO dynamics. This study demonstrated reliability of automatic HFO detection in the analysis of long-term intracranial recordings in humans. Obtained results can foster practical implementation of automatic HFO detecting algorithms into presurgical examination, dramatically decrease human labour and increase the information yield of HFOs.
