Topic: cortico-cortical evoked potentials

Variable and intricate dynamics are core to cortical communication in the human brain. Electrical stimulations in intracranial EEG (iEEG) can help probe effective connectivity over time and brain states through the measurement of cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs).In 15 epilepsy patients undergoing iEEG for diagnostic reasons, we probed effective connectivity with single-pulse electrical stimulations (1ms, 3mA). For any given pair of iEEG contacts at shorter (<20mm) or longer (≥20mm) range, effective connectivity was expressed as a probability of observing a single-trial CCEP in one
