Abstract

Presently there is a great interest in new functional non-invasive methods which would be useful in localization of the epileptogenic zone and its relationship with functional cortex. Among these new methods, Functional Resonance Imaging is probably the one with potential to be utilized in clinical practice. We review its principles and methodology.
