OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: To investigate the performance of a metric for passive localization of central sulcus. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We studied 7 patients with intractable epilepsy undergoing intra-cranial EEG (icEEG) monitoring at Yale, in whom central sulcus (CS) localization was obtained by standard methods. Our method takes advantage of inherent properties of the primary motor cortex (MC), which exhibits enhanced icEEG band-power and coherence across the CS. For each contact x we calculated the z-score of a composite power and synchrony value log10(px)x;cx, where px is sum of the root mean square of the icEEG in the high gamma band (80–115 Hz) for contact x over the 6–10 minutes of NREM sleep studied, and cx is the mean magnitude squared coherence in the same band using a 500-ms Hamming window between contact x and all other contacts. z-score values lower than threshold (th) were set to 0. Finally, we calculated a metric m=z/d, where d is the mean Euclidian distance of each contact from contacts with z scores greater than 0. The last step was implemented to emphasize local network activity. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We report the results of a pilot study to test the performance of a new operator independent method for passive identification of CS with intractable epilepsy undergoing icEEG monitoring at Yale, in whom CS localization was obtained by standard methods. The sensori-motor (SM) cortex exhibited higher EEG-gamma power compared with non-SM cortex (p |
