The duration of the datasets, the number of IEDs/seizures identified in each case, and the mean head displacement are reported, the latter estimated by the FSL’s motion correction tool (MCFLIRT39). A brief description of each patient’s clinical picture at the time of the simultaneous EEG-fMRI studies is also provided. The EEG datasets acquired outside the MR scanner are indicated by the*. The patients with no clear epileptic activity recorded on the EEG are indicated by†.
