Brief description of study

The purpose of this protocol is to allow for intraoperative electrophysiological recording from patients already scheduled to undergo a craniotomy that will expose the cerebral cortex. During surgery, a recording array will be briefly placed on the surface of the brain and signals will be recorded while the patient is in the anesthetized or awake state. Information gained will be used to evaluate novel electrode arrays and to gain understanding of normal processing in the cerebral cortex.

Detailed description of study

The research conducted under this IRB protocol is not a clinical trial and offers no planned benefits for the subjects enrolled. In addition, the research is conducted under in a limited population of subjects who will undergo brain surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Potentially suitable subjects for the research are approached by the neurosurgeon on the study.
