TMS - Intracranial Electrodes

Description

This is a study looking at the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a form of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), on the human brain as recorded by intracranial electroencephalography in neurosurgical patients. NIBS will be applied in a targeted manner and brain responses will be recorded.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Eligible subjects will include neurosurgery patients (age 18 and above) who have implantation of intracranial electrodes and undergo long term (about 2 weeks) EEG monitoring in order to decide candidacy for surgical resection of seizure foci. They must have the cognitive capacity to understand the risks and benefits fo the study and provide consent.
