PURPOSE: We describe a detailed evaluation of predictors associated with individual lead placement efficiency and accuracy for 261 stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) electrodes placed for epilepsy monitoring in twenty-three children at our instituti...
BACKGROUND: A frameless stereotactic robot-assisted system allows stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrodes to span multiple lobes. As the angularity and length are increased, maintaining accuracy of the electrodes becomes more challenging. The ...

To investigate the effect of insertion technique and electrode array type on the insertion force of electrode array, and to provide a basis for further optimizing electrode design and facilitating mini-invasive electrode insertion. Three types of e...
INTRODUCTION: Electrode array translocation is an unpredictable event with all types of arrays, even using a teleoperated robot in a clinical scenario. We aimed to compare the intracochlear trauma produced by the HiFocus™ Mid-Scala (MS) electrode arr...
BACKGROUND: Technology to restore the ability to communicate in paralyzed persons who cannot speak has the potential to improve autonomy and quality of life. An approach that decodes words and sentences directly from the cerebral cortical activity of...

Robot-assisted stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) is frequently employed to localize epileptogenic zones in patients with medically refractory epilepsy (MRE). Its methodology is well described in adults, but less so in children. Given the limited in...
The use of robot-assisted frameless stereotactic electroencephalography (SEEG) is becoming more common. Among available robotic arms, Stealth Autoguide (SA) (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) functions as an optional instrument of the neuronavigation ...
