Summary
This study tested whether special microelectrodes can record 'fast ripples'—tiny brain signals that might help locate where seizures start. 54 adults with drug-resistant epilepsy who needed brain monitoring took part. The goal was to see if these electrodes work well enough to guide future epilepsy surgery.
