Characterization and Analysis of Evoked Cortical Responses in Participants With Medication-intractable Epilepsy
Purpose
The goal of this project is to study how the brain reacts to a small electrical signal. Researchers will be using a novel combination of recording electrodes. The researchers will measure the brain response from these electrodes.
