Study Summary

This trial is investigating how the brain extracts linguistic elements from speech sounds in order to better understand and treat human language disorders.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals at UCSF with epilepsy or brain tumors who are undergoing surgical electrode implantation. They must have electrodes in at least two key brain areas and be able to perform study tasks. Those unable to consent, with significant cerebral lesions, or cognitive deficits that prevent task completion cannot participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study investigates how the superior temporal gyrus of the brain processes speech sounds. Participants will perform speech tasks while their brain activity is monitored to understand how we perceive words and continuous speech, aiming to improve language disorder treatments.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive speech tasks without drugs or medical procedures beyond those already required for participants' clinical care, there are no direct side effects from the interventions being studied.
