Modification of Slow Cortical Potentials in Patients with Refractory Epilepsy: A Controlled Outcome Study

Summary:  Purpose: To compare self‐regulation of low‐frequency EEG components (slow cortical potentials, SCPs) with other methods of seizure control for patients with drug‐refractory partial epilepsy and to separate the real anticonvulsive effect from placebo effects.
