Stereoencephalography

Reversible electrode stimulation is preferred during discovery because it can be stopped or removed if targeting is poor. The article describes SEEG as common, effective, safe, and well tolerated in epilepsy care. Direct human brain study is more necessary for psychiatric conditions that are uniquely human. Stereoencephalography records brain activity using invasive electrodes placed directly in suspected seizure networks. SEEG electrodes can also be stimulated to identify symptoms and functional brain regions.
