The patient groups were statistically similar in age, age of epilepsy onset, epilepsy duration, patients with/without MTS, IQ, gender distribution, and intracranial volume (assessed by Analyses of Variance (ANOVAs) or Chi-Squared tests, as appropriate; see Table 1). Hemispheric dominance was established based on handedness scores and fMRI evaluations. Thirty-seven patients were left hemispheric dominant, two patients were right hemispheric dominant , and one patient had bilateral dominance .
