The centrality features achieve high accuracies exceeding 90% in distinguishing SOZ electrodes from non-SOZ electrodes. Notably, a sparse graph representation with just ten features and simple machine learning models effectively achieves such performance. The study identifies
FD-CCM centrality measures as particularly significant, with a mean AUC of 0.93, outperforming prior literature. The FD-CCM-based graph modeling also highlights elevated centrality measures among SOZ electrodes, emphasizing heightened activity relative to non-SOZ electrodes during ictogenesis.
Significance: This research not only underscores the efficacy of automated SOZ identification but also illuminates the potential of specific EC measures in enhancing discriminative power within the context of epilepsy research.
