Criteria for surgical
intervention and investigation using cortical surface electrodes
included intractable seizures and a unilateral focus believed
to be cortical, temporal or extra-temporal. The grid and strip
electrodes most often used initially are
either a 4x8 or 8x8 electrode contact grid array (AdTech Medical Instruments;
Racine, Wisc., USA) and were modified depending on the result of the
pre-operative assessment or operative limitations. Surface recordings
of each electrode on the grid are obtained in the operating room to
ensure good contact with the brain surface prior to closure.
