Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In the study of enhancement or inhibition of normal brain function by brain electrostimulation, primary outcome is behavioral change in tasks designed for the evaluation of brain function. The timing of assessment is between the intervention and epileptogenic focus resection surgery (1 to 2 weeks after the intervention). | — |
