Abstract
We demonstrate that it is possible to detect blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) changes related to interictal discharges with specific and independent knowledge about the reliability of this activation. Biologically generated events complicate the fMRI-EEG experiment. Our proposed validation examines whether identified events have an associated BOLD response beyond chance and allows optimization of analysis strategies. This is an important step beyond standard analysis. It informs clinical interpretation because it permits assessment of the reliability of the connection between interictal EEG events and the BOLD response to those events.
