Study of brain signals during behavior
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial examines how the layers of the brain's cortex work to manage complex tasks. It uses brain scans and recordings from people already scheduled for brain surgery to understand 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 already scheduled for a brain surgery procedure (like DBS, epilepsy surgery, or tumor removal), OR you are a healthy volunteer for the non-invasive scan part.
- You can perform tasks in English.
- You do not have a psychiatric disorder or drug addiction.
- You have no metal in your body that prevents MRI scans.

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 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.
This study looks at how the brain works during and after surgery or a first-time deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure. It may help researchers better understand thinking and brain function in people who need treatment for epilepsy or certain brain conditions.
This trial studies electrical signals from brain cells in people having surgery to remove a brain or cerebellum tumor. It aims to better understand how these cells work.
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.
