Article Abstract
Invasive intracranial EEG (icEEG) offers a unique opportunity to study human cognitive networks at an unmatched spatiotemporal resolution. To date, the contributions of icEEG have been limited to the individual-level analyses or cohorts whose data are not integrated in any way. Here we discuss how grouped approaches to icEEG overcome challenges related to sparse-sampling, correct for individual variations in response and provide statistically valid models of brain activity in a population. By the generation of whole-brain activity maps, grouped icEEG enables the study of intra and interregional dynamics between distributed cortical substrates exhibiting task-dependent activity. In this fashion, grouped icEEG analyses can provide significant advances in understanding the mechanisms by which cortical networks give rise to cognitive functions.

Understanding healthy human brain function is crucial to identify and map pathological tissue within it. Whilst previous studies have mapped intracranial EEG (icEEG) from non-epileptogenic brain regions, they often neglect age and sex effects. Further, they are limited by small sample sizes due to the modality's invasive nature.

Normative mapping is a framework used to map population-level features of health-related variables. It is widely used in neuroscience research, but the literature lacks established protocols in modalities that do not support healthy control measurements, such as intracranial electroencephalograms (icEEG). An icEEG normative map would allow researchers to learn about population-level brain activity and enable the comparison of individual data against these norms to identify abnormalities.

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at patients with polymicrogyria (PMG) who had epilepsy that didn't get better with medicine, using a special procedure called ICEEG to see where the seizures started.
- Out of 35 patients, those who had surgery to remove parts of the brain had a better chance of stopping seizures completely compared to those who didn’t have surgery.
- The researchers found that knowing exactly where the seizures came from helped doctors decide how best to treat the patients, suggesting that just removing visible brain areas on scans doesn’t always mean the seizures will stop.
Incomplete resection of the intracranial electroencephalographic seizure onset zone is not associated with postsurgical outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied how important it is to fully remove areas of the brain that cause seizures during surgery for patients who can't control their epilepsy with medicine.
- They looked at data from 63 patients and found that most had a lot of the problem areas taken out, but it didn't seem to help them avoid seizures afterward.
- The study concluded that just removing the seizure areas isn't enough to guarantee no more seizures, suggesting that there might be other reasons for seizures after surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Study aims to understand epilepsy seizure patterns by analyzing how interictal epileptiform activity (IEA) builds up over multiple days, which can help predict seizures even if individual timing varies.
- Researchers utilized a large dataset from clinical trials with 159 participants, employing algorithms like generalized linear models (GLMs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to forecast seizures 24 hours in advance based on IEA detections.
- Results showed successful seizure forecasting in 79% to 81% of new subjects, demonstrating that this method can be applied broadly across patients, potentially needing less data for individuals starting chronic EEG monitoring.
