invasive EEG

Invasive EEG (electroencephalography) involves placing small electrodes directly onto or inside the brain to measure electrical activity with high precision. Unlike standard EEG, which uses sensors on the scalp, invasive EEG provides detailed recordings crucial for pinpointing the exact brain regions responsible for seizures or other neurological issues. This method is typically used for patients with difficult-to-treat epilepsy when non-invasive tests aren’t sufficient. Although it involves surgery to implant the electrodes, invasive EEG offers valuable information to guide effective treatment or surgical intervention, helping improve patient outcomes.
