Three-dimensional database of subcortical electrophysiology for image-guided stereotactic functional neurosurgery.

We present a method of constructing a database of intraoperatively observed human subcortical electrophysiology. In this approach, patient electrophysiological data are standardized using a multiparameter coding system, annotated to their respective magnetic resonance images (MRIs), and nonlinearly...
