Intracranial electrophysiology (ICE) electrodes inside cranium, to guide surgery
Composite x-ray (face swapped), for patient's privacy. Connectors (upper right) lead to computer.
ICE data allow us to localize dipoles in time and within gyral convolution
Bipolar and reconstructed monopolar field lines lead to a detailed dipole model.
Placement of electrodes across cortex and averaged spectral power from each
Example electrode placement (see MRI), and time-frequency ICE data at each site (color rasters).
