NCT00158067

Brief Summary

This feasibility clinical investigation is designed to demonstrate that the NeuroPace external Responsive Neurostimulator (model eRNS-300) can safely deliver responsive electrical stimulation automatically to affect epileptiform activity. The eRNS-300 is based on an implantable neurostimulator that has been adapted for acute, external use in a hospital setting.
