Whole-head magnetoencephalographic recordings revealed two parietal epileptic foci in homotopic areas of the hemispheres. The discharges occurred 17-20 ms later on the left than on the right hemisphere, implying the existence of a left-sided mirror focus. The foci were about 1 cm posterior to the hand primary somatosensory area, identified by evoked response measurements, and thus suggested epileptic activity at the parietal association cortex, in agreement with the observed callosal conduction time.
