 Refining experimental protocols

This workshop brings together specialists who have helped, or will help, to shape the new hybrid SEEG platform in Quebec City (Canada).

Together, they will present and refine their experimental protocols to optimize both micro- and macro-SEEG recordings, discuss the development of shared localizers to define task prioritization, facilitate the exchange of analysis tools, data, and define strategies to ensure the long-term sustainability of the new platform.
