MINDZ-- Minimally Invasive Approach Pilot Study

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 and ≤75 years at the time of enrolment. * Patients diagnosed with a brain tumour or epilepsy who require neurosurgical intervention. This includes patients undergoing craniotomy for brain surgery without the need for intracranial electrode monitoring, as well as patients undergoing neurosurgery with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring using subdural electrodes. Specifically, this includes patients for whom subdural strip electrodes are indicated and planned to be implanted through standard-size burr holes (e.g., for phase-reversal evaluation) * Participants capable and willing to provide informed consent for participation in the trial.
