North Shore - LIJ Surgical Epilepsy Patients Sample

Summary: This sample includes 6 patients with medically intractable epilepsy that underwent implantation of intracranial electrodes for seizure onset localization prior to resective neurosurgery. Each participant received a 5-minute resting state scan 1 to 7 days before electrode implantation. During the resting state scan participants were instructed to "close their eyes, relax, but don't fall asleep". No visual stimulus was presented.

The following data are released for every participant:

• Scanner Type: GE, 3T
• 5-minute resting state fMRI scan (R-fMRI)
• MPRAGE anatomical scan, defaced to protect patient confidentiality
• Demographic information, including seizure location (included in the release file).
