Brain language study using electrodes during epilepsy care
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain processes language using recordings from electrodes placed during epilepsy treatment. If you’re already being considered for this type of brain monitoring, the study’s tasks may help researchers better understand language function in the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a medical reason to need brain electrode monitoring on the left side, decided by your epilepsy surgery team
- You’re able to understand study instructions and complete the study tasks
- You can read or hear and follow directions well enough to take part (or someone helps you as needed)
- You can give informed consent (agree to join after learning about the study)
- Your age is between 18 and 85

This study uses brain recordings to better understand epilepsy signals. It may help people who need EEG monitoring for clinical care, and it may also use healthy adults as comparison participants.
This study uses electrodes placed on the brain during surgery to understand how speech is represented in different languages. It may help doctors better map language areas and improve surgical planning for people having brain surgery.
This study uses gentle electrical stimulation on the brain during awake surgery to understand how language works. It's for people having brain tumor removal or epilepsy monitoring who can speak English and do not have serious speech or thinking problems.
This study looks at how the brain stops speech, using electrical recordings taken during your already-planned epilepsy monitoring. It may help understand speech control.
This study maps how thinking works in people with epilepsy or brain lesions near important brain areas. It involves testing during brain surgery procedures to help researchers understand healthy brain function.
This study measures brain activity in people with epilepsy while doctors place temporary electrodes inside the brain. It may help researchers better understand seizures and how to improve treatment.
