Detecting high‐frequency oscillations in real time during epilepsy surgery with neuromorphic hardware validated to predict postoperative seizure outcome

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective High‐frequency oscillations (HFOs; 250–500 Hz) in electrocorticography (ECoG) are promising biomarkers for delineating the epileptogenic zone during epilepsy surgery. Accurate, intraoperative real‐time detection of HFOs may guide surgical resection to improve seizure outcome.
