What this Trial Is About
Epilepsy can lead to cognitive impairments, particularly in attention, which may affect daily activities such as driving. Driving plays a key role in maintaining autonomy and is essential for the social and professional integration of people with epilepsy. Therefore, assessing fitness to drive is a major issue for individuals with epilepsy. French legislation governing driving for people with epilepsy clearly outlines the periods during which a person is not permitted to drive. However, the means or methods for evaluating driving fitness in these individuals are not well defined. Currently, assessment is based more on a medical consultation than on a comprehensive evaluation of driving ability. Using a driving simulator in combination with an EEG could be a valuable approach to better assess the impact of epilepsy-related cognitive impairments on driving performance.
