Objective To propose and implement an automatic method based on a probability model using intracranially recorded high-frequency brain activity for the identification of epileptogenic zone.Methods Big data probability model was constructed based on the characteristics of the epileptogenic activities described by the degree of overall high- frequency power fluctuation in order to identify whether a channel was located in epileptogenic zone or not.Results By using the probability model with 948-electrode data from 12 patients, and compared with the results marked by neurologists, 80.4% ±17.3% sensitivity and 87.7% ±17.2% specificity were achieved.Conclusions Based on probability model, the proposed method does not rely on individual parameters, and possesses high degree of automation, good performance and a bright perspective in clinical diagnosis.
