We investigated the effect of statistical threshold and various spatial masks on laterality index (LI) calculation in determining language lateralization in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) evaluated using fMRI with language tasks. Majority of patients with TLE had some atypical lateralization, suggesting possible plasticity/reorganization of language function in patients with TLE.
