The researchers also recorded brain activity using the electrodes they'd placed on Blackwell's brain with a technique called electrocorticography. (sciencemag.org)
In order to identify the part of their brains responsible for seizures, the patients underwent 1 to 4 weeks of observation through electrocorticography (ECoG), a technique that provides precise neural recordings via electrodes placed directly on the surface of the brain. (sciencemag.org)
The main goal of this technique, known as electrocorticography, or ECOG, is to identify the exact area of the brain responsible for her seizures, so surgeons can attempt to remove the damaged areas without affecting healthy ones. (discovermagazine.com)
