New study aims to sharpen brain scans for epilepsy patients
NCT ID NCT02875964
First seen May 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study looked at 60 epilepsy patients who already had electrodes implanted in their brains for surgery planning. Researchers recorded brain activity simultaneously using scalp EEG, MEG, and the implanted electrodes. The goal was to see how well non-invasive methods can detect the same brain signals as the implanted ones, which could help make future epilepsy surgeries safer and more accurate.
