Looking at the muscle to find out what is happening in the brain

Simultaneous recording of EEG and EMG activity in epilepsy has contributed significantly to the description of the ictal semiology of epileptic events, allowing the identification of a wide variety of EMG patterns corresponding to different motor phenomena and demonstrating their temporal and topographic relationships with the epileptic event in the EEG (Mothersill et al., 2000; Tassinari and Rubboli, 2008). These informations have played a crucial role in classifying epileptic motor phenomena (Gastaut and Broughton, 1972; Blume et al., 2001) and were of central importance in the development of the concept of an epileptic syndrome as defined by its electro-clinical features.
