ABSTRACT
Epilepsy is a medical condition that is very frequent around the world. It is estimated that 1% of the population suffers epilepsy. From these patients, only 70% are controlled with antiepileptic medication. The other 30% of patients may benefit from surgical intervention. The use of chronic stimulation of the brain, so called neuromodulation, has shown to be a reliable procedure in the control of epileptic seizures. In 1970, the first totally implantable stimulating systems were available [Rise, 2000]. Based on the work of Cooke and Snider [1955], Cooper et al. [1978] used cerebellar stimulation to control different varieties of epileptic seizures.
