Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Intracerebral electroencephalography (EEG) provides crucial neural data.
Understanding factors influencing EEG signal quality is vital for accurate interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate if intracerebral EEG interpretation depends on electrode characteristics.
To determine the spatial sensitivity of intracerebral electrodes and its influencing parameters.

Main Methods:

Comparing EEG measurements from Dixi and homemade electrodes.
Utilizing numerical simulations to model electrode sensitivity.

Main Results:

High-frequency power (>20 Hz) differed between electrode types, independent of contact size.
Simulations revealed electrode-brain gap and generator extent significantly affect sensitivity.

Conclusions:

Electrode contact dimensions have minor impact on sensitivity; generator extent is key.
The insertion technique creating an electrode-brain gap explains observed signal variations.
