Brief Summary

Neurologic disease with loss of motor function is a major health burden. Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are systems that use brain signals to power an external device, such as a communication board or a prosthetic device, which may help people with loss of motor function. Electrocorticography (ECoG) has been used to decode hand movements and as a control signal for brain-computer interface (BCI). This study hopes to use a smaller spacing of ECoG to see if a better motor signal can be found and used as a BCI control signal.

Conditions

Epilepsy Intractable

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• This is an observational study and the outcome is successful measurement of motor-related corticography signals.

  Successful measurement of motor-related corticography signals

  7-10 days

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with intractable epilepsy ages 18 and above scheduled to undergo grid placement for epilepsy treatment.

You may qualify if:

• Must be able to speak and read English
• Cognitive ability to follow study directions
• Patients that are scheduled to undergo grid placement clinically for treatment of
• intractable epilepsy
• years of age or older

You may not qualify if:

• Patients who are not considered candidates for epilepsy surgery
• Individuals who have a diagnosis that would not allow them to participate in research procedures. For example, a physical disability that would limit hand movements and range of motion.
