Neocortical seizure foci localization by means of a directed transfer function method

Purpose:  Determination of the origin of extratemporal neocortical onset seizures is often challenging due to the rapid speed at which they propagate throughout the cortex. Typically, these patients are poor surgical candidates and many times experience recurrences of seizure activity following resection of the assumed seizure focus.
