Lateralization of Language Function in Epilepsy Patients: A High-Density Scalp-Derived Event-Related Potentials (ERP) Study

Epilepsy surgery offers an effective and safe treatment option for patients with medically refractory seizure disorders and leads to seizure freedom in 60-80% of patients. The goals of epilepsy surgery are on one hand to remove the epileptogenic zone, giving seizure freedom, but also to avoid causing neuropsychological deficits such as language or memory dysfunction (Binder et al., 2008; Sabsevitz et al., 2003). Thus, the accurate localization of essential brain regions, which are responsible for language and memory, as well as vision and motor function, is of the utmost importance.
