International Epilepsy Electrophysiology Portal

Question:
What kind of data does the IEEG-Portal contain?

Answer:
The IEEG-Portal contains EEG and imaging data related to epilepsy. The datasets are scrubbed, de-identified, and annotated by physicians. When possible, the images are co-registered with the electrode arrays and additional information about the case are documented in accompanying PDFs.

The IEEG-Portal also contains multiple datasets that were recorded in various animal models of epilepsy (November 2012).

Question:
What is the difference between the IEEG-Portal and the Data-Portal? And what does IEEG-Portal stand for?

Answer:
The IEEG-Portal is the working name for the International Epilepsy ElectrophysioloGy Portal. A common mistake is to infer that this portal only hosts "Intracranial EEG" data. Although this is currently true, we are planning to expand the data to include other types of electrophysiological data.

Is Matlab the only programming language that is supported by the IEEG-portal?

Yes, and no... The IEEGToolbox is specifically written for Matlab but merely serves as a wrapper for an underlying set of Java methods. You can call these methods outside of Matlab although you'll need a solid understanding of the Java language. Currently, we recommend to use Matlab to interact with the data, or use the online data-portal.

Question:
When I attempt to connect to my Data Snapshot via Matlab, it returns a "HttpHostconnectExceptionException" Error.

Answer:
Firewalls may block outgoing and/or ingoing ports. We use HTTP on TCP port 8088, make sure this outgoing port is open on your firewall settings.

Question:
Which Web-browsers are supported by the IEEG-Portal?

Answer:
Currently EEG waveforms and Radiologic data can only be viewed using Firefox (4.0+, 6.0 preferred), Chrome (10+), Safari, or (new as of 9/8/2011) Internet Explorer 9. You may use other browsers to view the IEEG Portal and search the database but will lose functionality in the IEEGWebConsole.
