The surgical removal of the epileptogenic region is considered as a possible treatent in intractable partial epilepsy. To guarantee surgery to be successful, an accurate localization of epileptogenic focus is crucial. A new proposal for its location is described and discussed. Six patients were used in the evaluation and the results were compared with other techniques routinely used for this purpose. All the processed studies showed a good agreement. As a result, it is seen great promise in this new methodology and further evaluation makes sense.
