Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) have the potential to improve the quality of life for persons with paralysis. Sub-scalp EEG provides an alternative BCI signal acquisition method that compromises between the limitations of traditional EEG systems and the risks associated with intracranial electrodes, and has shown promise in long-term seizure monitoring. However, sub-scalp EEG has not yet been assessed for suitability in BCI applications. This study presents a preliminary comparison of visual evoked potentials (VEPs) recorded using sub-scalp and endovascular stent electrodes in a sheep. Sub-scalp electrodes recorded comparable VEP amplitude, signal-to-noise ratio and bandwidth to the stent electrodes.Clinical relevance-This is the first study to report a comparision between sub-scalp and stent electrode array signals. The use of sub-scalp EEG electrodes may aid in the long-term use of brain-computer interfaces.

Implantable brain recording and stimulation devices apply to a broad spectrum of conditions, such as epilepsy, movement disorders and depression. For long-term monitoring and neuromodulation in epilepsy patients, future extracranial subscalp implants may offer a promising, less-invasive alternative to intracranial neurotechnologies. To inform the design and assess the safety profile of such next-generation devices, we estimated extracranial complication rates of deep brain stimulation (DBS), cranial peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), responsive neurostimulation (RNS) and existing subscalp EEG devices (sqEEG), as proxy for future implants.

Background: A new class of subcutaneous electroencephalography has enabled ultra long-term monitoring of people with epilepsy. The objective of this paper is to describe surgeons' experiences in an early series of implantations as well as discomfort or complications experienced by the participants.
Methods: We included 38 implantation procedures from two trials on people with epilepsy and healthy adults.

Sub-scalp Implantable Telemetric EEG (SITE) devices are under development for the treatment of epilepsy. However, beyond epilepsy, continuous EEG analysis could revolutionize the management of patients suffering from all types of brain disorders. This article reviews decades of foundational EEG research, collected from short-term routine EEG studies of common neurological and behavioral disorders, that may guide future SITE management and research.

Sub-scalp electroencephalography (ssEEG) is emerging as a promising technology in ultra-long-term electroencephalography (EEG) recordings. Given the diversity of devices available in this nascent field, uncertainty persists about its utility in epilepsy evaluation. This review critically dissects the many proposed utilities of ssEEG devices including (1) seizure quantification, (2) seizure characterization, (3) seizure lateralization, (4) seizure localization, (5) seizure alarms, (6) seizure forecasting, (7) biomarker discovery, (8) sleep medicine, and (9) responsive stimulation.
