Eligibility
Age
18 Years to 99 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - age 18 years and higher and mentally competent; - a clinical indication for resection of a tumor or other lesion (e.g. focus of epileptic seizures); - a clinical indication for awake surgery (or if applicable, for a full asleep procedure);
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - indication for longer than average (225 min) duration of the procedure (estimation by the neurosurgeon); - the neurosurgeon decides that a certain patient is not eligible to participate in the study (e.g. for medical or surgical reasons); - planned trepanation too far away for grid placement on a target location (evaluation by the neurosurgeon and researcher combined); - reported function loss that prohibits the accurate performance of the required tasks; Other exclusion criteria refer to specific parts of the study and do not affect the overall exclusion of the study. These are for example exclusion criteria for fMRI research, which include pregnancy, claustrophobia and presence of metals in the body
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The end-points per primary objective are as follows: 1) Achieving offline high-dimensional BCI control using high-density ECoG grids. 2) Establishing and modeling of the relationship between hemodynamic signals measured with fMRI or optical imaging and the underlying neuronal activation patterns measured with high-density ECoG. | — |
