Epilepsy Seizure Detection With Innovative Tripolar EEG (tEEG)
CREmedical
Summary
Concurrent electroencephalography (EEG) and new tripolar EEG (tEEG) will be recorded from adult and pediatric patients. In some patients stereo EEG (sEEG) will also be recorded concurrently.
Description
This study is a prospective observational study of the clinical utility (usability + accuracy) and safety of a novel EEG diagnostic device, the Tripolar Concentric Ring Electrode (TCE), that will be used to record the tripolar electroencephalogram (tEEG). The major objectives of the proposed studies will be to compare the recording qualities of the standard scalp EEG and intracranial stereo-EEG (sEEG), in preparation for obtaining FDA clearance for the TCRE and the tEEG technique. tEEG resolves the fundamental drawbacks of conventional EEG, providing significant improvement in signal fidelity,…
