An Examination of Cognitive and Sensorimotor Processes in Patients With Epilepsy Using Electrophysiology, Cortical Mapping, Electrical Brain Stimulation, and fMRI
The overall goal of this project is to better understand the micro-physiology of human epilepsy and cognition using the intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG), electrical brain stimulation, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and histology.
Inclusion: Subjects are selected on the basis of intractability of their seizures to medical intervention by antiepileptic drugs and following a noninvasive workup that indicates the patient would be an excellent candidate for resective surgery.
Exclusion: Patient is under the age of 5.
