This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new type of flexible electrode grid called the SOFT ECoG that doctors place on the brain during epilepsy surgery. The flexible grid is designed to record brain electrical activity and help surgeons pinpoint exactly where seizures are coming from. Researchers will compare this new flexible grid to the standard rigid grids currently used in surgery to see if the new device works better and is easier to use.
Currently, surgeons use rigid electrode grids during epilepsy surgery to map brain activity and find the exact source of seizures. The new flexible electrode grid may better fit the brain's shape and provide clearer recordings, potentially making surgery safer and more effective.

If you join this trial, the research team will place both the new flexible electrode grid and the standard electrode grid on your brain during your epilepsy surgery. You'll have additional recordings made before and after the surgeon removes the seizure-causing tissue. The flexible grid will be used alongside your standard surgery — it does not change your surgery plan or add extra time to the procedure.
