Study Details

The goal of this interventional study is to determine if the use of virtual reality headsets results in an increased risk of seizure in adolescent and adult individuals with epilepsy. The main question it aims to answer are: \- does use of virtual reality headsets with hand controllers result in a higher risk of seizure compared to use of virtual reality headsets without hand controllers Participants will be asked to wear a virtual reality headset during continuous video EEG recording and EEG with be evaluated during three phases: with display turned off, with display turned on without hand controllers, and with display turned on with hand controllers.
