Figure 2. (A–F) EEG epochs from A to F show that upon stimulation of the patient, a left temporal theta/alpha activity appears, quickly spreads to the left parasagittal area, slows down, changes in morphology to a 3–4 Hz spike and wave discharges, and becomes higher in amplitude before it devolves. The whole activity lasts around 45 seconds. * EEG settings: Longitudinal Bipolar “Double Banana” Montage, sensitivity: 7 microvolt/mm; high cut: 35 Hz, low cut: 1 Hz; paper speed: 10 sec/page.
