[FieldTrip] EEG and shunts

[Carsten Wolters]

Dear Jason,

that is very interesting:
(1) CSF:
I would expect that in hydrocephalus you have a significant contribution of CSF, see
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23006805
and
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811914005175?via%3Dihub
(2) 
Effects of shunts have been investigated in this paper
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811912004946?via%3Dihub

You might then be interested to model your shunts and the possibly bigger CSF compartment by using e.g. the Fieldtrip-SimBio pipeline (corresponding paper has just been accepted):

I realise this will likely have dramatic effects to the activation patterns.  A quick Google search gave me some rather old papers. I am wondering what is the best way to compare their activity to controls?  Also, I will have access to their MRIs. Can I use beamforming?  Unfortunately, I don't have access to an MEG.
