Characterizing Brain Connectivity from Human Electrocorticography Recordings with Unobserved Inputs during Epileptic Seizures.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by the sudden occurrence of unprovoked seizures. There is extensive evidence of significantly altered brain connectivity during seizure periods in the human brain. Research on analyzing human brain functional connectivity during epileptic seizures has been limited predominantly to the use of the correlation method. However, spurious connectivity ca...
