ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,343,151, issued on July 1, was assigned to CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY (Pittsburgh).

"Methods and apparatus for detection and imaging of epileptogenicity from scalp high-frequency oscillations" was invented by Bin He (Pittsburgh) and Zhengxiang Cai (Pittsburgh).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A system and method to facilitate the analysis of long-term scalp EEG recordings and the investigation of underlying epileptogenicity. Pathological high frequency oscillations are identified and extracted from the EEG recordings and electrophysiological source imaging is used to reconstruct cortical activity, which can be used as an aid in surgical rese...
