AB The  goal  of  both  intracranial  and  scalp  electroencephalography  (EEG)  within  the  epilepsy  surgery  evaluation  is  to  identify  the  brain  region  critical  for  seizure  generation  (epileptogenic  zone)  so  that  the  patient  may  be  rendered  seizure-free  by  the  removal  of  this  region.  For  each,  a  focal  ictal  onset  is  sought,  but  spatial  sampling  issues  of  intracranial  electrodes  introduce  a  complexity  to  clinical  decision  making  that  scalp  EEG  does  not  have.  This  includes  deciding  the  type  of  intracranial  electrode  and  the  placement  locations.  Depth  EEG  is  the  surgical  placement  of  intraparenchymal  electrode  contacts  that  are  along  a  thin,  flexible,  plastic  tube.  Grid  and  strip  electrode  contacts  exist  within  a  plastic  sheet  that  is  laid  across  the  cerebral  convexity  and  are  discussed  in  Chapters  32  and  33.
