SEEG and SDE have clinically relevant differences for functional brain mapping with electrical stimulation. Although evaluation of language and motor regions is comparable between SEEG and SDE, SEEG offers a higher likelihood of identifying sensory areas. A lower incidence of ADs and EISs, and a favorable relationship between functional and AD thresholds suggest superior safety and neurophysiologic validity for SEEG ESM than SDE ESM.
