Summary

This study tests whether using very small electrical currents to trigger seizures can help doctors better understand where seizures start in the brain. It involves children, teens, and young adults (ages 1–30) with drug-resistant epilepsy who are already scheduled for brain monitoring. The goal is to improve surgical planning and ultimately help more children become seizure-free.
