Overview

14 y/o girl with 5 days of scalp EEG, intracranial grid EEG (58 electrodes), and standard depth EEG (6 electrodes) EEG. She had right anterior lobectomy. Pathology showed low grade glioma. Had Class I outcome.

The electrodes in the seizure onset zones are: [ 3:6 33 ].
The electrodes in the resected volume are: [ 1:6 27:44 ].

PPT files

These files contain clinical information.

LAY files

These files contain Persyst EEG data.

DAT files

These files contain Persyst EEG data.

MATLAB code

• MAT files contain EEG metadata.
• MinutesFromStart.mat contains the duration (minutes) from the first EEG sample of the patient to the first EEG sample taken in each session.
• LAY files can be read with inifile.m, lay_data_read.m, and lay_hdr_read.m.

Usage

• Ensure that the codes are in the active folder or in your MATLAB path.
• Change the false to true if you want to read the annotations into the header. Not recommended for long clinical EEG.
• The startIdx and stopIdx are the indexes from the .dat file you are interested in. For the start of the file, startIdx=1. For the end of the file, stopIdx = hdr.datapoints.

hdr = lay_hdr_read(filename,false);  
data = lay_data_read(hdr,startIdx,stopIdx);
