The purpose of this study is to assess how well a new scoring system called the 5-SENSE score can predict where seizures start in the brain using Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). The 5-SENSE Score is a 5-point score based on routine presurgical work-up, designed to assist in predicting whether SEEG can identify a focal seizure onset zone, thereby sparing patients the risk of undergoing this invasive diagnostic procedure.
Who can participate
Inclusion Criteria:
* patients aged 15 years or older in whom no direct surgical approach can be offered and who are discussed in the multidisciplinary team discussion

Exclusion Criteria:
* no telemetry/scalp EEG in center
* no protocol MRI in center
* subdural/GRID electrodes
