Understanding how the brain acquires language through intracranial recordings

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the mechanisms of language acquisition in the brain by utilizing intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) recordings in children with drug-resistant epilepsy. Participants will listen to pre-recorded phrases and stories while their brain activity is monitored, allowing researchers to analyze the evolution of semantic representations over time. The study focuses on understanding how the brain processes language and the development of semantic composition, which remains largely unexplored. By examining brain activity during these recordings, the study seeks to provide insights into the neural basis of language learning.
