Recordings were performed with polytef-insulated guide wires in the course of interventional angiographies in 23 patients. All registrations were compared with simultaneous recordings from extracranial electrodes. This preliminary study raises the possibility that this technique may help to explore the electric activity of deep cerebral structures otherwise accessible only by stereotactic puncture or electrode insertion.
