Ictal Thalamic Recordings in Patients with Deep Brain Stimulation Targeting Thalamic NucleiIdentify whether ictal thalamic EEG signals could be derived from ambulatory recordings in patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting either bilateral anterior thalamic nuclei (ATN) or centromedian nuclei (CMN). (P5-1.008)
