What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sensitivity and specificity of electrical source localization of inter-ictal and ictal discharges using high-Resolution EEG for localizing the epileptogenic zone (the stereo-electroencephalography will be the reference method)
Time Frame: 3 years
results of electrical sources localization of inter-ictal and ictal discharges are compared to the epileptogenic zone defined by SEEG
3 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
inter-observer reliability of electrical source localization of inter-ictal and ictal discharges for localizing the epileptogenic zone.
Time Frame: 3 years
sources localization of inter-ictal and ictal discharges will be interpreted by two independant epileptologists, blinded to the results of stereo-EEG.
3 years
sensitivity and specificity of high resolution EEG and electrical source imaging for surgical decision
Time Frame: 3 years
decision of surgery and the limits of the cortectomy established with electrical source imaging will be compared to the decision of surgery and the limits of the cortectomy established with Stereo-electroencephalography.
3 years
