EEG resting state analysis of cortical sources in patients with benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes.

ABSTRACT: Benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS) is the most common idiopathic childhood epilepsy, which is often associated with developmental disorders in children. In the present study, we analyzed resting state EEG spectral changes in the sensor and source spaces in eight BECTS patients compared with nine age-matched controls. Using high-resolution scalp EEG data, we assessed statistical differences in spatial distributions of EEG power spectra and cortical sources of resting state EEG rhythms in five frequency bands: δ (0.5-3.5 Hz), θ (4-8 Hz), α (8.5-13 Hz), β1 (13.5-20 Hz) and β2 (20.5-30 Hz) under the eyes-closed resting state condition. To further investigate the impact of centrotemporal spikes on EEG spectra, we split the EEG data of the patient group into EEG portions with and
