Study Summary

This trial is studying how well a computer model can predict frequency-following responses in people who have had surgery to remove lesions in Heschl's gyrus.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals aged 13-25 with normal nonverbal IQ, vision, language skills, and hearing. They must be monolingual English speakers undergoing surgery for a lesion in Heschl's gyrus without autism or ADHD history.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to understand the role of the cortex in generating frequency-following responses (FFR) related to speech processing by using EEG recordings and creating a computational model.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves standard EEG recordings and assessments rather than medication or invasive procedures, there are minimal expected side effects.
