Summary

This study compares a new, comfortable brain scanner (OPM-MEG) with the traditional 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 will check if the new scanner maps seizure-related brain activity just as accurately as the old one. Twenty children aged 6 to 15 will take part.
