Intraoperative Very High-Frequency Activity for Localization of the Epileptogenic Zone: An International Multicenter Study

Background and Objectives Interictal spikes on intraoperative electrocorticography have been used to localize the epileptogenic zone but have limited specificity. We hypothesized that identifying spatially distributed, spike-associated very high-frequency activity (vHFA; 500-2,000 Hz) would improve the ability of spikes to localize the epileptogenic zone. We aimed to characterize spike-associated vHFA and to determine whether a seizure outcome prediction model incorporating vHFA could be externally validated across independent centers. Methods This retrospective two-center cohort study include
