    Epilepsy affects approximately 50 million people globally, with 30% experiencing refractory epilepsy despite anti-seizure medications.

  • 2

    Accurate localization of intraoperative electrocorticography (ioECoG) grids is crucial for successful epilepsy surgery but is currently limited by visual inspection methods.

  • 3

    Augmented reality (AR) headsets can enhance surgical navigation by overlaying real-time 3D information, improving efficiency and accuracy during procedures.

  • 4

    The proposed method integrates AR with AI techniques like super-resolution and object detection to improve ioECoG grid localization accuracy and workflow.

  • 5

    The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed method against a commercial tracking system, potentially enhancing surgical precision in epilepsy treatment.
