Neurophysiologically Based Brain State Tracking and Modulation in Focal Epilepsy

Researchers are trying to determine if tracking seizure occurrence, seizure probability, behavioral state, cognition, and mood can be achieved using an implantable brain sensing and stimulation device (Medtronic RC+S Summit) coupled to an external, handheld, patient assistant device (PAD) with capability for patient interaction (patient data input). The system (RC+S \& PAD) provides intracranial EEG (iEEG) sensing, electrical brain stimulation, and machine learning algorithms running on the RC+S and PAD that will be coupled with electrical brain stimulation (EBS) to prevent seizures and improve quality of life in patients with epilepsy.
