Time Frame
Start Date: 2023-09-01
Estimated Completion Date: 2028-12-30
Participants
Target number of participants: 45
Treatments
Experimental: micro-macroelectrodes
Patients will be implanted with usually the novel intracerebral micro-macroelectrodes (instead of the regular clinical macroelectrodes). The primary and secondary outcomes will then be assessed.
