The number of EEG papers from China, about 20 a year, represented about 1/80 of the global total by the 70th anniversary of EEG in 1994. After a steady rise, Chinese EEG research reached about 1/3 of the global total by the 100th anniversary of EEG in 2024. Academic organizations related to EEG were established during this process, along with the widespread use of EEG in thousands of clinical hospitals and closely collaborating with international colleagues.

We searched for studies describing intracranial direct current shift, intracranial slow potential shift (SPS), or intracranial infralow activity AND surgical outcome. <b>Results</b> There is a marked heterogenicity in the recording parameters of icDCs, and in the method of intracranial evaluation (SEEG, subdural electrodes or both); icDCs can be obtained in more than 90% of patients with epilepsy evaluated with intracranial electrodes and in more than 90% of the seizures; icDCs is an electrical phenomenon with very high amplitude, with positive or negative polarity and prolonged duration, seen before or during seizure onset; IcDCs are best recorded with a time constant of 10 s, and setting LFF at 0.01 to 0.016 Hz and variable HFF; it seems preferable to evaluate them with an epoch of 300 s. IcDCs are not specific to any subjacent pathology. icDCs increases the probability of being seizure-free by 30.5. <b>Conclusion</b> Infralow activity can be assessed during intracranial recording with sEEG or subdural electrodes.
