NCT05755919

Brief Summary

We aim to determine the clinical utility of 'dynamic tractography': a novel method for visualizing electrical neural transfers that incorporates the underlying white matter tracts and supporting linguistic processing. We will also determine how well objective electrophysiology biomarkers will improve the prediction of language outcomes following epilepsy surgery. This project will ultimately optimize understanding of how the human brain develops its language network dynamics.

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

Following data de-identification, we propose to share our datasets with the public via 'NeuroElectroMagnetic Data Archive and Tools Resource (NEMAR)' or 'iEEG.org', both of which are NIH-funded data-sharing platforms.

Time Frame
Once the primary findings have been published, we will make the data available.
