The invention relates to a method of optimizing an intracranial implantation scheme of a set of electroencephalographic electrodes for identification of an epileptogenic zone in an epileptic patient's brain. This method comprises the steps of - providing a model of the epileptogenic zone and a model of the propagation of an epileptic discharge from said epileptic zone to a propagation zone, and loading said models in a computerized platform personalized according to the patient's brain; - providing at least one hypothesis of the localization of the epileptogenic zone in the patient brain; - for said at least hypothesis of the localization of the epileptogenic zone, simulating, in the personalized computerized patient's brain, epileptic seizures, and determining, for said hypothesis and epileptic seizures, a network of propagation zones; - for a plurality of intracranial implantation schemes of the electroencephalographic electrodes, obtaining, using the personalized computerized patient's brain, simulated electroencephalographic signals activity that is to be measured by the intracranial electrodes implanted according to said plurality of schemes; and - determining, from said plurality of intracranial implantation schemes, an optimized intracranial implantation scheme of the set of electroencephalographic electrodes.

The invention relates to a method of identifying a potentially surgically operable target zone in an epileptic patient's brain. According to the invention, the method comprises the following steps: providing a computerized platform modelling various zones of a primate brain and connectivity between said zones; providing a model of an epileptogenic zone and a model of the propagation of an epileptic discharge from an epileptic zone to a propagation zone; obtaining a patient's personalized computerized platform; deriving the potential target zones based on modularity analysis; evaluating the target zones' effectiveness by simulating epileptic seizures propagation in the personalized patient's computerized platform; evaluating the target zones' safety by simulating spatiotemporal brain activation patterns in a defined state condition and comparing the simulated spatiotemporal brain activation patterns obtained before removal of the target zone with the spatiotemporal brain activation patterns obtained after removal of the target zone; identifying the target zones which satisfy both effectiveness and safety evaluation criteria as potentially surgically operable target zones.

The invention relates to method for determining an onset time and an excitability of a brain region that is not observed as recruited or not recruited in a seizure activity of an epileptic patient brain. The method according to the invention comprises the steps of providing a dynamical model of a propagation of an epileptic seizure in the brain networks; providing a statistical model which defines the probability of generating sets of observations of the state of the brain networks by said dynamical model; training the dynamical model of the propagation of an epileptic seizure using the statistical model and the data set of observations of the training cohort; and inverting the trained dynamical model and inferring the onset time and excitability of a third region from the onset time that is observed for the first and second regions using the statistical model.
