Summary

This trial compares how normal brain function is organized using fMRI in normal people and those with epilepsy or brain tumors, to understand the role of specific brain regions in cognitive processes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking patients with medically refractory epilepsy or brain tumors near crucial brain regions. They may have electrodes implanted to locate seizure sites and map critical areas, or they might undergo intra-op mapping, a Wada test, or an awake craniotomy.
What is being tested?
The study aims to compare normal brain function using fMRI in healthy subjects versus those with epilepsy or brain tumors. It involves language-based tasks and will use data from intracranial recordings to analyze information flow between brain areas.
What are the potential side effects?
There are no direct side effects mentioned for participating in this trial since it involves non-invasive imaging and cognitive tests. However, there could be general risks associated with fMRI scanning such as discomfort from lying still.
