Optimal Virtual Resection. (a) Reduction in epidemic spreading for virtual resections of increasing size S, as quantified by the decrease in $I_{\mathcal{R}}(t_0)$. Each curve corresponds to one patient, as indicated in the legend. Red triangles mark the resection that achieved a 90% decrease in propagation, ${\mathcal{R}}_{90}$, and black squares the smallest resection that stopped seizure propagation, ${\mathcal{R}}_{100}$. (b) In order to enable comparison of the VRs performance between patients, we depict the normalized decrease in propagation, $I_{\mathcal{R}}(t_0)/I(t_0)$, as a function of the normalized resection size, $S/S_{\text{RA}}$. The black dashed line indicates a 90% decrease in propagation.
