Space-Time-Frequency Multi-Sensor Analysis for Motor Cortex Localization Using Magnetoencephalography.

ABSTRACT: Brain source imaging and time frequency mapping (TFM) are commonly used in magneto/electro encephalography (M/EEG) imaging. However, these methods suffer from important limitations. Source imaging is based on an ill-posed inverse problem leading to instability of source localization solutions, has a limited capacity to localize high frequency oscillations and loses its robustness for induced responses (ill-defined trigger). The drawback of TFM is that it involves independent analysis of signals from a number of frequency bands, and from co-localized sensors. In the present article, a regression-based multi-sensor space-time-frequency analysis (MSA) approach, which integrates co-localized sensors and/or multi-frequency information, is proposed. To estimate task-specific brain activations, MSA uses cross-validated, shifted, multiple Pearson correlation, calculated from the time-frequency transformed brain signal and the binary signal of stimuli. The results are projected from the sensor space onto the cortical surface. To assess MSA performance, the proposed method was compared to the weighted minimum norm estimate (wMNE) source imaging method, in terms of spatial selectivity and robustness against an ill-defined trigger. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings were performed in fourteen subjects during two motor tasks: finger tapping and elbow flexion/extension. In particular, our results show that the MSA approach provides good localization performance when compared to wMNE and statistically significant improvement of robustness against ill-defined trigger.

Project description:In patients with medically refractory epilepsy, resective surgery is the mainstay of therapy to achieve seizure freedom. However, ?20-50% of cases have intractable seizures post-surgery due to the imprecise determination of epileptogenic zone. Recent intracranial studies suggest that high frequency oscillations between 80 and 200 Hz could serve as one of the consistent epileptogenicity biomarkers for localization of the epileptogenic zone. However, these high frequency oscillations are not adopted in the clinical setting because of difficult non-invasive detection. Here, we investigated non-invasive detection and localization of high frequency oscillations and its clinical utility in accurate pre-surgical assessment and post-surgical outcome prediction. We prospectively recruited 52 patients with medically refractory epilepsy who underwent standard pre-surgical workup including magnetoencephalography (MEG) followed by resective surgery after determination of the epileptogenic zone. The post-surgical outcome was assessed after 22.14 ± 10.05 months. Interictal epileptic spikes were expertly identified, and interictal epileptic oscillations across the neural activity frequency spectrum from 8 to 200 Hz were localized using adaptive spatial filtering methods. Localization results were compared with epileptogenic zone and resected cortex for congruence assessment and validated against the clinical outcome. The concordance rate of high frequency oscillations sources (80-200 Hz) with the presumed epileptogenic zone and the resected cortex were 75.0% and 78.8%, respectively, which is superior to that of other frequency bands and standard dipole fitting methods. High frequency oscillation sources corresponding with the resected cortex, had the best sensitivity of 78.0%, positive predictive value of 100% and an accuracy of 78.84% to predict the patient's surgical outcome, among all other frequency bands. If high frequency oscillation sources were spatially congruent with resected cortex, patients had an odds ratio of 5.67 and 82.4% probability of achieving a favourable surgical outcome. If high frequency oscillations sources were discordant with the epileptogenic zone or resection area, patient has an odds ratio of 0.18 and only 14.3% probability of achieving good outcome, and mostly tended to have an unfavourable outcome (?2 = 5.22; P = 0.02; ? = -0.317). In receiver operating characteristic curve analyses, only sources of high-frequency oscillations demonstrated the best sensitivity and specificity profile in determining the patient's surgical outcome with area under the curve of 0.76, whereas other frequency bands indicate a poor predictive performance. Our study is the first non-invasive study to detect high frequency oscillations, address the efficacy of high frequency oscillations over the different neural oscillatory frequencies, localize them and clinically validate them with the post-surgical outcome in patients with medically refractory epilepsy. The evidence presented in the current study supports the fact that HFOs might significantly improve the presurgical assessment, and post-surgical outcome prediction, where it could widely be used in a clinical setting as a non-invasive biomarker.
