Eligibility

Age

2 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients aged at least 8 years with medically intractable epilepsy who undergo chronic invasive EEG monitoring as part of a presurgical evaluation for epilepsy surgery. Preoperative mental simulation test performance should be within normal limits.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Not being able to perform the test.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
In this study we measure both the behavioural responses (reaction-time and hand orientation distribution) as well as the electrophysiological signals from the ECoG electrodes. During the interference protocol, we investigate the influence of local cortical stimulation on task performance. All results will be presented as cortical maps showing the active areas and their interactions. This will provide a cortical network model for mental simulation. Finally, the effects of resection on the performance of the task will be used as a proof of the models predictive potential.	—
