Brief Summary

The main aim of this study is to evaluate the contribution of fast-ripples (FR) information on the neurosurgery management of patients with drug-refractory epilepsy investigated by Stereo-ElectroEncephaloGraphy (SEEG), as measured by freedom from disabling seizures one-year post-surgery. 220 patients (for whom 4-6 usual clinical macro-electrodes will be replaced by hybrid micro-macro electrodes and for whom fast-ripples will be assessed) distributed over 5 centres and 220 control patients(who will undergo an SEEG with the usual electrodes and for whom fast-ripples will not be assessed) distributed over 6 centres. This is a controlled, non-randomized, parallel plan, prospective, multicentre exploratory study.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient suffering from drug-resistant focal epilepsy (DRFE), as defined by the International League Against Epilepsy, undergoing SEEG, the indication of which was selected during a multidisciplinary epilepsy meeting * Patient who has given written informed consent to allow the study data collection procedures * Patient covered by the French healthcare system. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients under juridical protection (authorship, curators or safeguarding of justice). * Patient deprived of liberty by a judicial or administrative decision * Patient with a cardiac defibrillator * Thermocoagulation planned on one of the potential hybrid electrodes . * Patient in exclusion period of another study. * No other non-inclusion criteria since the study will only be proposed to patients who already meet the criteria for a SEEG
