The goal of this interventional study is to determine if the use of virtual reality headsets results in an increased risk of seizure in adolescent and adult individuals with epilepsy. The main question it aims to answer are: \- does use of virtual reality headsets with hand controllers result in a higher risk of seizure compared to use of virtual reality headsets without hand controllers Participants will be asked to wear a virtual reality headset during continuous video EEG recording and EEG with be evaluated during three phases: with display turned off, with display turned on without hand controllers, and with display turned on with hand controllers.
Inclusion Criteria: * subjects with known or suspected diagnosis of epilepsy with interictal epileptiform discharges seen during current or prior EEG recording * Age greater than or equal to 13 years Exclusion Criteria: * Age less than 13 years (infants, children) * Pregnancy * Incarceration * Moderate-severe cognitive impairment
15 minutes of EEG recording with VR headset worn, display turned off. This will act as a baseline for intervention 2 and 3
15 minutes of EEG recording with VR headset worn, display turned on without access to hand controls.
