epileptogenic zones might be identified by their synchronization pattern. Synchronization analysis may therefore be useful as a method to functionally map the temporal cortex of TLE patients, hereby locating specific sites that participate in the initiation and propagation of seizures [32], [33]. Furthermore, analyzing synchronization patterns might be a way to locate epileptic foci in TLE patients who are selected for epilepsy surgery. Ortega and colleagues have suggested that seizures might arise from specific regions that have synchronization patterns which are highly differentiated from patterns in the rest of the temporal cortex [32], [34].
