Read our Epilepsy research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are testing a way to create detailed maps of your brain function using information they collect during the intracranial monitoring that you're already receiving as part of your epilepsy surgery planning. This research study doesn't add new procedures — it analyzes data your doctors are already gathering to help understand how epilepsy affects different brain regions and how they communicate with each other.
Doctors need better tools to understand exactly where seizures start and which brain areas control important functions like speech and movement. By studying this mapping approach, researchers hope to improve surgery planning and outcomes for future epilepsy patients.

Since you're already undergoing intracranial EEG monitoring for your epilepsy surgery planning, this study uses the information collected during that process — you won't have additional procedures or visits. Researchers will analyze the data your doctors are already gathering to create functional brain maps and study how different brain regions communicate.
