Mesoscale insights in Epileptic Networks: A Multimodal Intracranial Dataset

Sci Data. 2025 May 10;12(1):774. doi: 10.1038/s41597-025-05026-4.

Abstract

Understanding the intricate dynamics of epileptic networks at the mesoscale is crucial for advancing our knowledge of epilepsy pathophysiology and developing targeted interventions. In this data descriptor, we present a comprehensive dataset encompassing intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) recordings, Local Field Potentials (LFP), and Multiunit Activity (MUA) data obtained from Microelectrode arrays (MEA; Utah array; Blackrock). 12 seizures were recorded in 5 epilepsy patients with the MEA. Our dataset offers a unique opportunity to investigate the complex interactions between diverse neural signals across brain areas and to study the mesoscale networks in focal epilepsy. This dataset can be used to explore the modulations of LFP and MUA in conjunction with iEEG, offering potential insights into the spatiotemporal dynamics of epileptic networks. Additionally, the high temporal resolution of the data allows for the computation of High-Frequency Oscillations (HFOs) in both LFP and iEEG signals, facilitating the investigation of their potential relationship with MUA activity.
