Conditions

Cranial Neurosurgery

Brief summary

The purpose of this to evaluate the capability of the FDA approved Medtronic LINQ II device (implantable cardiac monitoring device) to record EEG signals when placed temporarily in the subscalp space in patients undergoing cranial neurosurgery. No disease-directed therapeutic efficacy endpoints will be studied.

Interventions

DEVICEMedtronic LINQII

Bilateral LINQII devices will be implanted under the scalp during surgery to obtain approximately 30 minutes of brain signal recordings.
