Electrocorticography describes a process used to monitor brain activity by measuring electrical activity generated from the cerebral cortex. To perform electrocorticography measurements a craniotomy is needed. This is a surgical incision made into the skill exposing the brain. Electrodes used to measure brain activity are placed directly on the exposed surface of brain.
Brain wave synchronization, also called neuronal coherence, is a fundamental mechanism of communication in the brain, where synchronized field potentials coordinate synaptic and spiking even...
Episodic memories are essential for human cognition, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain poorly understood. We utilize the opportunity to record in-vivo from human single neurons sim...
The public health burden of Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) has prompted clinical trials of deep brain stimulation (DBS) that have, unfortunately, produced inconsistent outcomes. Potent...
Actions are not mediated solely by cortical processes but rely on communication within basal ganglia-thalamocortical loops. Speech is one example, although how the basal ganglia participate i...
Direct recording of neural activity from the human brain (intracranial encephalography, iEEG, also known as electrocorticography, ECoG) using implanted electrodes is one of the fastest-growin...

Stimulation of human visual cortex is known to elicit visual perceptions that could potentially be used for restoring artificial vision to individuals who have lost their vision due to non-co...
What motivates patients to participate in clinical trials? Discussions most often revolve around potential study participants’ perception of therapeutic benefit. Misconceptions about th...
