NCT07499479

Brief Summary

The clinical investigation evaluates whether speech can be decoded from neural activity recorded with cortical surface electrocorticography (ECoG) electrodes during awake brain tumor surgery. Neural signals and voice recordings are collected while patients perform a picture naming task as part of standard intraoperative mapping. The study assesses the ability of machine learning algorithms to predict the named item from intraoperative electrophysiological recordings.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Primary outcome Measure

    The primary metric for evaluating the success of the project is the accuracy of the machine learning algorithms in decoding neural activity to predict the named item by the patient. Achieving an Area Under the Curve (AUC) value of greater than 0.9 indicates high predictive performance.

    Up to 12 months after the last patient's intraoperative recording

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Secondary Outcome Measure

    Up to 12 months after the last patient's intraoperative recording

  • Patients with inoperable tumors,
  • Patients with tumor locations incompatible with safe or effective placement of ECoG electrodes,
  • Females that are breastfeeding or females with childbearing potential with positive urine pregnancy test or not using adequate contraception,
  • Patients unable to provide informed consent due to cognitive or language limitations,
  • Patients who have any electrical stimulator or any active implanted medical device that uses high magnetic or electrical currents (e.g. patients with pacemaker defibrillator, neurostimulator, drugs pumps, retinal and cochlear device),
  • Any wearable medical device that may cause troubles to the investigational devices and injuries to the participants,
  • Patients with medical contraindications to general or local anesthesia required for surgery,
  • Patients with an active infection or infectious skin lesions on the scalp,

  • Patients with contraindications to any surgical procedure,
  • Patients undergoing treatment with anticoagulants, platelet aggregation inhibitors, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,
  • Patients who decline to participate in the study,
  • Any specially protected person: adults protected by law; persons hospitalized without their consent, at the request of a third party or ex officio; persons deprived of their liberty by a judicial decision,
