Abstract (EN): The relevance of scalp EEG recording on the selection of patients for epilepsy surgery usually is based on the concordance between the location of the epileptogenic focus and the presumed ictal origin of clinical seizures visually identified or video recorded. Bilateralisation and/or spreading of the epileptiform events are among the causes of the relative lack of agreement between scalp topography and origin of EEG potentials. Computer methods mainly if they are adaptive and use multistrategic approaches improve the accuracy on the detection of the epileptogenic focus, extracting relevant information on the location and spreading of epileptiform events.
