Understanding how the brain learns motor-sensory skills during awake surgery

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 investigates the interactions between perceptual and motor systems in the brain during the acquisition of motor-sensory skills, particularly in the context of complex tasks like speech production or playing a musical instrument. It utilizes electro-corticography to record brain activity in patients undergoing awake surgery for epilepsy or cerebral tumors, allowing researchers to analyze how the brain generates motor commands in response to sound-producing systems. The study aims to provide insights into the dynamic aspects of sensorimotor learning that have not been directly tested before.
