Methods
assessment of BOLD signal changes associated with isolated IEDs at the location of the active intracranial electrode, and by estimating subject-specific impulse response functions to isolated IEDs. We found that the hemodynamic response associated with the intracranially recorded discharges varied by patient and by spike location. The observed shape and timing differences also deviated from the canonical hemodynamic response function traditionally used in many fMRI experiments. It is recommended that future iEEG-fMRI studies of IEDs use a flexible hemodynamic response model when performing parametric tests to accurately characterize these data.
