Intracranial EEG (1950): Task neuroscience · 1950 · al-eeg-0

[221] [desk-intracranial-eeg-0] Intracranial EEG records electrical activity from electrodes on the cortical surface (ECoG) or in depth (stereo-EEG / SEEG). It offers millimetre spatial scale and kilohertz temporal bandwidth unavailable to scalp EEG or fMRI. Clinically it maps seizure onset and eloquent cortex before epilepsy surgery; scientifically it reveals high-gamma activity tied to cognition

Clinically it maps seizure onset and eloquent cortex before epilepsy surgery; scientifically it reveals high-gamma activity tied to cognition. Coverage is sparse and ethical constraints are strict — not a general “brain reading” tool.
