Official title
Decoding of Neuronal Potentials Associated With Motor Performance and Motor Imagery Obtained Using Intracranial stereoEEG Electrodes
Overview
The goals of this study are (1) to evaluate the rate of stereoEEG brain-computer interface (BCI) classification accuracy and (2) to collect the dataset of neuronal signals recorded from stereoEEG electrodes during motor performance, motor imagery or brain-computer interface control. The study enrolls hospitalised patients suffering from resistant epilepsy with already implanted intracranial stereoEEG electrodes for medical reasons (i.e. for preoperative localization of the epileptogenic foci). The number and location of electrodes are determined solely for the clinical purposes of stereoEEG monitoring and are not related to the protocol of the current study. After obtaining informed consent to participate in the study, each patient will participate in one experimental session lasting no more than 60 minutes, recording brain signals associated with hand movement, motor imagery, and BCI control. All tasks and instructions presented during the study session are not pro-epileptogenic and cannot provoke an epileptic attack. The experiments will take place in the patient's room, without interruption of observation by the department's medical staff. The data recorded in this study will be used to improve or develop new algorithms for decoding motor signals from deep brain structures for their potential use in invasive BCIs.
Interventions
- Other motor tasks
During the study session, the patient will sit at a table in front of a computer monitor. The stereoEEG electrodes will be connected to the Neurovisor-BMM52 electroencephalograph (Medical Computer Systems, Russia) and to a computer with a software for recording and decoding brain signals (BCI classifier). One microsensor (Ascension TrekStar, Ascension Technology, USA) and two disposable cutaneous electrodes (connected to the Neurovisor-BMM52 system) will be put on each patient's hand for electro
Primary outcome measures
- Rate of BCI classification recall [Time frame: During the procedure]
