Motor mapping was performed in a surgical patient using rs-fMRI with motor seed (in red, placed in the healthy Rolandic cortex), rs-fMRI ICA, a finger tapping motor task and ECS data (patient 12 in Rosazza et al. (44)). Results showed that seed-based analysis, ICA and tb-fMRI, provide comparable but not equivalent results; nevertheless, the stimulation site (in blue) was included in each activation pattern. In another surgical patient language mapping was performed using rs-fMRI with language seed (in red, placed in the left inferior frontal gyrus), rs-fMRI ICA and ECS data (patient 6 in Zacà et al. (47)). Results showed that seed-based analysis and ICA provided similar but not equivalent results; however, stimulation site (in blue) was included in the pattern of correlated activity.
