الحسك، والواحدة منه حسكة، هو النبات الشائك أو العظم الدقيق من السمك، ونسـميه في القطيف الأسل

In English, a spike is \"a long, thick, sharp-pointed piece of wood or metal; or a heavy nail; or a spikelike part or projection\" (American Heritage Dictionary).

In medicine, as well as in other sciences, a spike is a very sharp rise in a particular value, such as body temperature, that appears like a conspicuous projection upward when plotted on a graph. Such \"spikes\" look like a series of large, sharp nails on the graph paper. When a patient\'s temperature, for instance, rises suddenly then subsides almost immediately, we say the patient\'s temperature \"spiked.\"

In the example provided by the asker, the spikes appear on an EEG.

Spike: An EEG pattern strongly correlated with seizures; “benign” spikes are not associated with seizures
Benign rolandic epilepsy: An epilepsy syndrome of childhood characterized by partial seizures occuring at night and often involving the face and tongue; the seizures may progress to tonic-clonic seizures, have a characteristic

Seizure: A sudden, excessive discharge of nervous-system electrical activity that usually causes a change in behavior.

spike and wave complex
A generalised, synchronous pattern seen on the electroencephalogram, consisting of a sharply contoured fast wave followed by a slow wave; particularly found in patients with generalised epilepsies. Spike and wave complexes are often characterised by their frequency, e.g., s low spike and wave, fast spike and wave.

It is usually straight forward for a physician to diagnose this type of epilepsy, which is typically suggested by the patient’s or witnesses' recount of the seizure. An EEG (electroencephalogram) is done to confirm the diagnosis. The EEG of people with Benign Rolandic Epilepsy shows centrotemporal spikes (increased brain activity in the central and temporal regions of the brain). These spikes are much more prominent during sleep, so the EEG should be done with sleep deprivation or sedation—so that a sample of sleep is captured on the EEG. However, some children will have a normal EEG. An MRI would be expected to be normal.

INTRODUCTION
There have been indications that the source of Rolandic spikes cannot adequately be modeled by a single dipole. In a previous study careful analysis has shown that in some cases the source could be characterized by two dipolar components with a different orientation, whereas the difference in position could not be resolved [1]. It was demonstrated that the occurrence of such a double spike has a significantly stronger association with the presence of epilepsy than the single spike has. These studies were based on 32 channel EEG measurements, and dipole modeling was done using a three shell spherical model. However, in recent simultaneous EEG and MEG study only spikes that could be characterized by a single dipolar source were found [2].
