PROSPECTIVE

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ECOG and EEG Sensor

Study subjects are neurosurgical patients with medically refractory epilepsy who will have implanted with intracranial ECoG electrodes. The electrodes will be used during a period of inpatient monitoring to identify resectable seizure foci.

EEG

Intervention Type DEVICE

EEG will be collected with Brain Product's VAMP-16 channel EEG Monitor using the accompanying software. (Website with further specifications and product details: https://www.brainproducts.com/productdetails.php?id=15)

ECOG

Intervention Type DEVICE

ECOG will be collected with Nihon Kohden acquisition System and accompanying software and depth electrodes.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Male or Female subjects 18 years of age or older.
* English or Spanish Speaking
* Subjects who have been previously diagnosed with intractable epilepsy and require implantation of invasive electrophysiological recordings as part of their routine clinical presurgical workup.

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients with skin abnormalities at the planned application sites that would interfere with sensor or electrode applications.
* Patients with pre-existing conditions and/or co-morbidities that would prohibit them from participating in the study due to unacceptable risks to their health and well-being, as determined by the Principal Investigator (PI).
* Patients who the PI deems ineligible at the PI's discretion
* Pregnant patients
