Summary

This trial will help researchers learn more about how epilepsy affects the brain, which could lead to better treatments for the condition.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with epilepsy who are already getting intracranial EEG monitoring at the University of Minnesota/MINCEP program. They must understand the study, agree to all procedures, and be available throughout. Pregnant individuals or those unable to make independent decisions due to cognitive impairments are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new way to create brain maps in adult patients with partial epilepsy. These maps aim to pinpoint where in the brain seizures start and how different regions communicate during a seizure.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves functional mapping during an already planned EEG monitoring procedure, side effects may include typical risks associated with EEG such as discomfort at electrode sites but specific side effects will depend on individual patient conditions.
