First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tested whether special microelectrodes can record 'fast ripples'—tiny brain signals that may help find where seizures start. Fifty-four adults with drug-resistant epilepsy who needed brain monitoring took part. The goal was to see if these new electrodes work better than standard ones at spotting these signals.
