In ES+, the larger number of high-rate FR electrodes indicates more widespread epileptogenicity than in ES-. High values of OR(FRs) and MI(FRs & 3-4 Hz) in ES+ compared to ES- are a signature of the severity of epileptogenicity. We proved that ES+ children who achieved seizure freedom following multilobar resections exhibited strong coupling between slow oscillations and FRs.
