About

Jean Gotman is a pioneering figure in clinical neurophysiology, best known for his transformative contributions to the understanding and localization of epileptic activity. His research has centered on the development and refinement of stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG), a minimally invasive technique for mapping epileptic foci deep within the brain. Gotman’s most-cited work, "A Practical Approach to Stereo EEG" (2020), has become a foundational guide for clinicians, detailing systematic methodologies for electrode implantation and signal interpretation. This paper, with 17 citations, exemplifies his ability to translate complex neurophysiological principles into actionable clinical protocols. Beyond SEEG, Gotman’s broader impact includes seminal studies on interictal spikes and seizure onset patterns, which have shaped modern epilepsy surgery planning. His career, spanning decades at the Montreal Neurological Institute, has yielded over 300 publications, collectively cited more than 20,000 times. Recognized with awards such as the Michael Prize, Gotman’s work has not only advanced diagnostic accuracy but also improved surgical outcomes for thousands of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. For students and researchers, his legacy offers a masterclass in bridging rigorous science with life-changing clinical application.
