About
Riki Matsumoto is a leading figure in epileptology and clinical neurophysiology, renowned for pioneering advances in stereotactic electroencephalography (SEEG) and the surgical localization of epileptic foci. His work has fundamentally shaped how deeply seated and otherwise elusive seizure origins are identified, moving beyond the limitations of traditional subdural electrode arrays. Matsumoto’s key contributions include refining the insertion accuracy and clinical workflow of SEEG, particularly through the use of anchor bolts, which has improved both the safety and precision of this minimally invasive technique. His early reports, such as his 2018 study on initial SEEG experience and problem extraction, laid critical groundwork for modern epilepsy surgery protocols, despite accumulating citations as the field matures. Beyond technical innovation, Matsumoto has advanced the understanding of human cortical dynamics and high-frequency oscillations, bridging basic neuroscience with clinical application. His work is widely cited by neurosurgeons and epileptologists globally, and he is recognized for training a generation of specialists in advanced electrophysiological methods. Matsumoto’s legacy is one of transforming invasive monitoring into a safer, more targeted tool for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
