Developing brain monitoring through blood vessels for epilepsy diagnosis
Locating where seizures begin helps plan surgery for people whose epilepsy resists medication. Scalp recordings can be inconclusive, prompting monitoring with electrodes implanted inside the skull. This procedure carries risks including bleeding and infection.
DeepPulseNeuro is developing a device to record electrical brain activity through cerebral blood vessels. It aims to help clinicians diagnose epilepsy and refine treatment options without placing electrodes through the skull.
