Summary

This study compares a new, more comfortable brain scanner (OPM-MEG) to the standard one for children with epilepsy who need surgery. The new scanner uses a lightweight hat instead of a rigid helmet, making it easier for kids to use. Researchers want to see if the new scanner can map seizure-related brain activity just as well, which could help surgeons plan safer and more precise operations.
