Description

Abstract
To advance the development of next-generation personalized therapies for long-term seizure freedom, we urgently need technologies that improve seizure diagnostics while reducing risks associated with invasive neurosurgical procedures. Among the more than 1,000,000 americans with uncontrolled focal epilepsy, many have poorly localized seizure foci. These individuals face the highest rates of 'failure' (i.e., ongoing seizures) after epilepsy surgery. That failure reflects the biology of their epilepsy as well as the overlap of seizure foci with essential cortical areas. However, limits of current technologies also play a critical role in the high failure rate as we are currently limited in our ability to sample wide regions of the neocortex (i.e., stereoeeg) or to record broad neocortical regions without inducing pain, swelling, and neuroinflammatory tissue damage (i.e., subdural grid and strip recordings). To meet this need for safer, more effective invasive electrode studies and simultaneously enable discovery to advance next-generation therapies, this UG3/UH3 clinical trial project leverages a successful, long-term collaboration between clinicians, engineers, material scientists, neuroscientists and industrial partners at new york university school of medicine, new york university, duke university, the university of utah, blackrock microsystems, and dyconex to translate modern thin-film technology into next generation FDA-approved implantable neurological devices. We have developed and extensively tested a novel electrode array based on liquid crystal polymer thin-film (LCP-TF) technology with partner dyconex, AG. When combined with large-scale data acquisition systems, LCP-TF electrodes will provide higher quality neural recordings than existing FDA- approved electrode arrays, with improved safely and at an affordable cost. We propose to obtain traditional 510(k) approval from the FDA for short-term implantation (
