SemioDict merges and splits: Prof McGonigal

1. She suggests we separate deja vu from psychic
2. She suggests we could merge Dialeptic/LOA with LOC
3. She also suggested we merge dysphasia and ictal speech and rename this to "Dysphasia/Verbal Vocalisation" and rename vocalisation to "non-verbal vocalisation"

1. could do - this is based on prior knowledge of deja vu being more specific in localising value. We want this conclusion to be drawn (or refuted) by looking at the data so it would be useful to separate this. While we're at it then, we can also have different versions of Psychic/Experiential. Currently Psychic is all experientional, minus the Fear-Anxiety.

Proposed New version:

• Fear-Anxiety
• Deja Vu
• Psychic/Experiential without Fear-Anxiety and without Deja Vu
• Psychic/Experiential including Fear-Anxiety but without without Deja Vu
• Psychic/Experiential without Fear-Anxiety but including Deja Vu
• Psychic/Experiential including both Fear-Anxiety and Deja Vu

I know this sounds like a lot, but the idea is it will delineate the relative localising values as per planned analysis detailed in #107

2. could do, again this was raised in the meetings with BD and FC (#141), and currently these result in different cortical probability heatmaps on SVT. So I argued that we keep them separate, as there seems to be a different SOZ/EZ correlation depending on how the semiology is reported.

3. Could do this, but confusion can be mistaken for Dysphasia, whereas ictal speech is usually an expert's assessment of the semiology. As for 2, I argue we keep these separate with a note in the glossary that there may be semantic overlap

[thenineteen]

all above except for number 1 done - can always add custom semiology
