The effect of increased intracranial EEG sampling rates in clinical practice

For the ∼1/3 of epilepsy patients who are not controlled by medications alone, epilepsy surgery or the possibility of implantable devices to treat their seizures may be the only therapeutic option. However, the success rates of epilepsy surgery vary broadly from 40-80%(Cohen-Gadol et al., 2006; Lee et al., 2005; Mohammed et al., 2012; de Tisi et al., 2011), and these numbers have not changed in many years. It is clear that the standard practice of evaluating epilepsy surgical candidates needs improvement.
