We recorded SEEG spikes and examined the MEG waveforms. We defined S\u2010MEG spikes as MEG spikes synchronized with SEEG spikes in the deep brain structures. We examined the proportion of S\u2010MEG spikes relative to SEEG spikes, the amplitude of S\u2010MEG spikes, and the signal\u2010to\u2010noise ratio (SNR). We also examined the relationship between the spread of epileptic activity and the SNR of S\u2010MEG spikes. We used SEEG spike\u2010indexed averaging to improve the SNR and visualize the source of the S\u2010MEG spikes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We recorded 1630 SEEG spikes, of which 575 (35.3%) were identified as S\u2010MEG spikes.
