Summary

This trial will help researchers understand how the brain processes speech, which could lead to new treatments for speech disorders.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-85 with language disorders or epilepsy who are already scheduled for intracranial monitoring of the left cerebral hemisphere. Participants must be able to follow test instructions and give informed consent.
What is being tested?
The study investigates how the human brain processes language by having participants perform behavioral tasks during intracranial monitoring, aiming to combine neural data with computational models of cognition.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive behavioral tasks during a procedure that patients are already undergoing, there are no additional side effects directly associated with the study itself.
