Summary

  • I am a neurologist and an epileptologist. My clinical and research interests include epilepsy surgery, cortical stimulation and mapping, polygraphic recordings using surface EMG electrodes to analyze cortically generated movements and to use this tool to distinguish between epileptic and non-epileptic movements. I am also interested in epilepsy genetics.
