==== Electrocorticography ====

[[Electrocorticography]] (ECoG) measures brain electrical activity from beneath the skull in a way similar to non-invasive electroencephalography, using electrodes embedded in a thin plastic pad placed above the cortex, beneath the [[dura mater]].<ref>{{cite book | last1=Serruya | first1=Mijail | last2=Donoghue | first2=John | chapter = Chapter III: Design Principles of a Neuromotor Prosthetic Device | title = Neuroprosthetics: Theory and Practice | veditors = Horch KW, Dhillon GS | publisher = Imperial College Press | year=2004 |pages=1158–1196 | doi=10.1142/9789812561763_0040 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050404155139/http://donoghue.neuro.brown.edu/pubs/2003-SerruyaDonoghue-Chap3-preprint.pdf | archive-date=4 April 2005 |chapter-url=httphttps://donoghue.neuro.brown.edu/pubs/2003-SerruyaDonoghue-Chap3-preprint.pdf}}</ref> ECoG technologies were first trialled in humans in 2004 by Eric Leuthardt and Daniel Moran from [[Washington University in St. Louis]].

Signals can be either subdural or epidural, but are not taken from within the brain [[parenchyma]]. Patients are required to have invasive monitoring for localization and resection of an epileptogenic focus.{{Citation needed|date=May 2024}}
