FOUNDATIONS: WHAT SEEG IS AND WHEN TO USE IT
13h45-14h05
What is SEEG?
Understanding what we measure (LFP) and why it matters (how SEEG differs from scalp EEG), the issue of spatial resolution, and the foundation for electro-anatomo-clinical correlation.
Philippe Kahane
.
14h05-14h25
When to use - and when NOT to use - SEEG
Clear indications and contraindications, and how to avoid unnecessary or low-yield explorations, in particular when it is unlikely to find a focal epileptogenic zone.
Birgit Frauscher
.
14h25-14h45
DISCUSSION (all faculty & participants)
14h45-15h05
Common pitfalls in early SEEG programs: lessons learned
Frequent mistakes in planning, implantation, and interpretation, with practical strategies to avoid them.
Birgit Frauscher
.
THINKING BEFORE ACTING: HOW TO PLAN A SEEG EXPLORATION
15h05-15h25
From semiology to hypotheses: the philosophy of SEEG
Step-by-step approach to translating semiology into anatomical hypotheses and defining a structured plan.

16h15-16h35
Translating imaging and EEG into implantation strategy
Integration of MRI, fMRI, PET, SISCOM and VEEG monitoring to refine hypotheses and guide electrode placement.
Birgit Frauscher
.
16h35-16h55
Electrode planning and implantation strategy: a practical guide
Trajectory planning and safety considerations for common epilepsy patterns.

DISCUSSION (all faculty & participants)
IN SEARCH OF THE EPILEPTOGENIC ZONE: HOW TO INTEPRET SEEG DATA
17h15-17h35
Is finding the ictal low voltage fast activity the holy grail?
Practical framework to identify key ictal patterns, distinguish ictal onset from propagation, and interpret signal analysis tools quantifying the seizure onset zone.
Philippe Kahane
.
17h35-17h55
Are interictal biomarkers better than ictal biomarkers?
How to identify and interpret the clinical relevance of interictal biomarkers, both visually and using signal analysis tools.
