Epilepsy is a disease characterized by abnormal spontaneous activity in the brain. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (RS-fMRI) is a powerful technique for exploring this activity. With good spatial and temporal resolution, RS-fMRI is a promising approach for accurate localization of the focus of seizure activity. Although simultaneous electroencephalogram-fMRI has been performed with patients in the resting state, most studies focused on activation. This mini-review focuses on RS-fMRI alone, including its computational methods and its application to epilepsy.
