The researchers also recorded brain activity using the electrodes they'd placed on Blackwell's brain with a technique
called electrocorticography.
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.
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.
This study
used electrocorticography (ECoG), a technique that uses electrodes on the surface of the brain to record neural connectivity.
The team tested the efficacy of their system using
invasive electrocorticography recordings from neurological subjects undergoing epilepsy surgery.
The Utah team
miniaturized electrocorticography electrodes — sensors developed in the 1960s to locate the seizure - causing areas in the brains of epileptics — and encased them in thin sheets of silicon.
«The complementary evidence
of electrocorticography, fMRI, and brain stimulation will make it possible to study not only the effects of brain stimulation on the local neural networks that process face information, but also how they broadcast their information towards other regions in the brain.»
In this study, a chronically stable class of thin ‐ film devices
for electrocorticography is manufactured incorporating silicon carbide and diamond ‐ like carbon as adhesion promoters between glassy carbon (GC) electrodes and polyimide and between GC and platinum traces.
Those sensors read brain activity through a technology
called electrocorticography (Ee - LEK - tro - KOR - tih - KOG - rah - fee), or ECoG.
Other methods of interfacing with the brain via electrodes include those put on the scalp for electroencephalography (EEG) and ones placed under the skull on the brain's surface, known
as electrocorticography (ECoG).
Stolk plans future studies with Knight using fine - tuned brain mapping on the actual surfaces of the brains of volunteers, so - called
electrocorticography.
By electrically stimulating the surface of the brain through
electrocorticography (ECoG) electrodes, we can provide touch feedback to our research participants.
electrocorticography (or ECoG) A technique to monitor brain health that may be used in patients with brain tumors or epilepsy.
