Interventions

  • Epilepsy surgery — PROCEDURE
    Epilepsy surgery will be performed as a part of the clinical management of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Study Details

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.
