© 2024 The Author(s). EEG slowing is reported in various neurological disorders including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Epilepsy. Here, we investigate alpha rhythm slowing in individuals with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy compared with healthy controls, using scalp EEG and magnetoencephalography. We retrospectively analysed data from 17 (46) healthy controls and 22 (24) individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy who underwent scalp EEG and magnetoencephalography recordings as part of presurgical evaluation. Resting-state, eyes-closed recordings were source reconstructed using the standardized low-resolution brain electrographic tomography method. We extracted slow 6-9Hz and fast 10-11Hz alpha relative band power and calculated the alpha power ratio by dividing slow alpha by fast alpha. This ratio was computed for all brain regions in all individuals. Alpha oscillations were slower in individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy than controls (P |
