Purpose: To test the hypothesis that deepening sleep activates focal interictal epileptiform

Long-term video-EEG and, more recently, video-polysomnography, have provided the
means to confirm and expand on the interconnections between sleep and epilepsy. Some of …

Objective Interictal high frequency oscillations (HFO s) are a promising candidate as a
biomarker in epilepsy as well as for defining the seizure‐onset zone as for the prediction of …

Sleep and epilepsy are interrelated. Understanding the relationship between epilepsy and
sleep is important for optimizing management of the epilepsy patient in several ways. First …
