A 360 ° electronic device for recording high-resolution intraoperative electrocorticography of the brain during awake craniotomy.

CONCLUSIONS: The circular grid is a safe, feasible tool that grants direct access to the cortical surgical surface for tissue resection while simultaneously monitoring electrical activity. Application of the circular grid to different brain pathologies may improve intraoperative epileptogenic detection accuracy and functional outcomes, while decreasing postoperative complications.
