Neocortical Seizure Termination by Focal Cooling: Temperature Dependence and Automated Seizure Detection

Summary:  Purpose: The therapy for focal neocortical epilepsy remains suboptimal. We have, therefore, worked to develop techniques to cool small regions of the neocortical surface for seizure mapping and, ultimately, for long‐term suppression of focal seizures.
