Statistical analysis of patients previously operated on may improve our methods of performing subsequent surgical procedures. In this article, we introduce a method for studying the functional properties of cerebral structures from electrophysiological and neuroimaging data by using the probabilistic functional atlas (PFA). The PFA provides a spatial distribution of the clinically most effective contacts normalized to a common space. This distribution is converted into a probability function for a given point in space to be inside an effective contact. The PFA was used to analyze spatial properties of the functional subthalamic nucleus (STN), defined as the spatial volume corresponding to the distribution of effective contacts. These results may potentially be useful in planning subthalamic implantation of electrodes.
