tACS would be performed to epilepsy patients who have already received implantation of the SEEG electrodes
Changes of intracranial activities
The change of the power in a band of 0-200 HZ according to the intracranial EEG recording.
Time frame: Within 250 ms immediately after the stimulation.
Frequency of the epileptic discharges
To count the numbers of epileptic discharges within the same duration before and when tACS intervention.
Time frame: 50 minutes during the stimulation and 50 minutes of the interictal baseline before the intervention during the same hour of the day
Event related potential (ERP)
ERP related to cognitive tasks before and immediately after the tACS intervention
Time frame: Baseline: 24 hours before the tACS intervention; Observation: Immediately after the end of the tACS intervention.
