Brain activity study for speech production
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are already scheduled for brain electrode monitoring to find the source of your seizures or map language areas
- You must speak English fluently
- You must have normal thinking, speech, language, and hearing abilities
- You must have normal or corrected vision
- You cannot have an intellectual disability, autism, or ADHD

This study looks at how the brain helps stop ongoing speech. It may help researchers understand brain control during medication-resistant epilepsy surgery, using recordings from implanted electrodes.
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 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.
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 uses tiny brain electrodes placed during surgery to better understand how a brain region helps with speech. The results may guide safer brain mapping during surgery for people with epilepsy or brain tumors.
This study tests how people learn and remember new speech patterns. You will participate in speech tasks while an MRI scans your brain activity.
