What is it about?
We showed that recording EEG from the scalp and from intracranial electrodes is a simultaneously, is a better way to detect the location of seizure onset in the brain. We proposed three criteria to analyze simultaneously recorded scalp and intracranial EEG.

Why is it important?
More than one in five patients continue to have seizures after epilepsy surgery even after extensive investigation to detect the region of seizure onset. We propose an effective and easy way to improve detection of the location of seizure onset in patients with epilepsy so that the abnormal region can be surgically removed.
Perspectives
I hope that recording scalp EEG simultaneously with intracranial EEG evaluation would become a common practice in the field of epilepsy surgery, because of it is easy and effective.
