About
Susan E. Thompson is a leading figure in the field of stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) and the neurosurgical application of robotics. Her primary research focuses on refining surgical techniques for implanting intracranial electrodes to map epileptic networks, with a particular emphasis on improving safety, precision, and clinical outcomes. Thompson’s landmark 2015 paper, “Technique, Results, and Complications Related to Robot-Assisted Stereoelectroencephalography,” has amassed over 318 citations, establishing her as a key authority on robotic SEEG as a simplified and safer alternative to traditional methods. This work has directly influenced modern epilepsy surgery protocols worldwide. She has also explored the neural correlates of motor control, as seen in her 2014 study on high-frequency activity during reaching tasks, which, while less cited, demonstrates her broader interest in linking SEEG recordings to human behavior. Thompson’s contributions have been instrumental in advancing minimally invasive epilepsy surgery, and her work continues to guide neurosurgeons and researchers seeking to optimize electrode placement and reduce patient risk.
