Epilepsy is the second most prevalent neurological disorder which affects about 1% of all the humans on the earth. It has different causes and symptoms with the seizures as the main symptom. The seizures are char acterized as some abnormal electrical activities of the brain. The main therap y for epilepsy is using anti-epileptic drugs which can help around 60% of the patients. Th e ot er therapy for the patients who cannot be cured by drugs is surgery. In order t o define the brain tissue which is generating the seizures, there is a need to record electrical activity from the brain (electroencephalogram) with a very good signal qual ity. Tripolar concentric ring electrodes (TCREs) were in troduced by Besio for electroencephalography (EEG) using TCREs (tEEG). Th e novelty of the TCRE and instrumentation is that two bipolar differential si gnals from three closely spaced electrode elements are recorded. Then the tripolar Laplacian derivation as a weighted sum {16*(M-D)-(O-D)} where O, M, and D are the pote n ials on the outer ring, middle ring, and central disc of the TCRE, respecti v ly, is performed. We have shown that compared with conventional EEG signals, tEEG h as nearly 4-fold (374%) the signal to noise ratio and less than one-tenth (8.27 %) the mutual information. The goal of this work is to demonstrate that TCREs provide a unique opportunity to record high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) from s calp. To do so, a procedure was developed to process the signals making time freque ncy spectrograms and short time power spectrums to automatically detect HFOs. To ac complish this goal, we first make the time-frequency spectrogram and then the sh ort time power spectrum for the whole recording. Then specify the frequency band wh ere the narrow band high power brain activities happen and check the localized pow er spectrum for one second sections at this frequency to determine the time of the HFOs. Finding the HFOs and the areas of the brain generating the seizures, whi ch is the goal of this research, can lead to very good surgical outcomes. We expect the se techniques to improve diagnosis of epilepsy.
