Brain tissue classification from stereoelectroencephalographic recordings.

Background: Stereoelectroencephalographic (SEEG) recordings can be performed before final resective surgery in some drug-resistant patients with focal epilepsies. For good SEEG signal interpretation, it is important to correctly identify the brain tissue in which each contact is inserted. Tissue classification is usually done with the coregistration of CT scan (with implanted SEEG electrodes) with preoperative MRI.
