Summary
This study aims to create a detailed map of the vagus nerve in the neck, showing which parts control the heart, lungs, and voice box. Researchers will use a new imaging technique called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) during routine surgery for epilepsy patients. The goal is to make electrical nerve stimulation more precise, reducing side effects while still treating conditions like epilepsy.
