Brain activity study for patients having brain surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how different layers of the brain work together during complex tasks. It may help improve treatments for brain conditions by understanding how information flows in the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are scheduled for a brain surgery procedure (like deep brain stimulation, epilepsy surgery, or tumor biopsy)
- You can understand and do tasks in English
- You do not have a psychiatric disorder or drug addiction
- You can have an MRI scan (no metal implants in your body)

This study looks at how the brain works by recording brain activity during surgery for epilepsy, brain tumors, or deep brain stimulation, in patients aged 12 to 18. It may help improve treatments for these conditions.
This trial studies how the brain’s control networks work during a surgery-related procedure for people with epilepsy that hasn’t improved with usual treatments. If you qualify, you may do specific tasks while the team maps and measures brain activity to better understand and guide care.
This study looks at how the brain works during epilepsy monitoring to help doctors better plan surgery. If you join, you'll do simple tasks on a computer while doctors record your brain activity.
This study looks at brain signals recorded during surgery to better understand how the brain names pictures. It may help surgeons protect language areas during brain tumor removal.
This study uses special brain recordings done during electrode implantation to better understand brain activity in people whose symptoms are hard to control with medications. The goal is to help doctors improve how they evaluate and treat certain brain or nerve conditions.
This trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
