Summary
We will observe epileptic patients who already have electrodes implanted on the brain and are receiving high-level brain stimulation for clinical purposes while testing their motor and language function. We propose to do a limited, low-level brain stimulation to show that the signatures of local activity in the target area change as an effect of brain stimulation. The goal of this study is to understand the feasibility of a novel recurrent brain-computer interface that could eventually promote targeted functional recovery in subjects who have had a brain injury.

Study Objectives
Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary study objectives
Link EMG activity produced during a motor task to stimulation of a part of the brain
Secondary study objectives
Evaluate distribution of current from stimulation

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Epileptic PatientsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The population of patients with medically refractory epilepsy will already have been recommended clinically for electrode grid placement on the brain and high-level stimulation to map brain function.
