Electroencephalography (EEG) and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in Epilepsy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Epilepsy

In brief

Patients with epilepsy undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) have electroencephalograms (EEGs) recorded before and during their stimulation treatment. Subsequently the investigators will be using computer-assisted analysis of the digitally-recorded EEG signals to assess the effects of DBS on the brain-wave frequency content and any abnormal seizure-like patterns that may be present.
