Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?The purpose of the study is to use a new method of high-density electroencephalogram (HD-EEG) recording to map brain areas important for movement, sensation, language, emotion, and cognition.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for individuals who can perform specific tasks and give consent on their own. It's suitable for those with epilepsy, healthy subjects, or other nervous system disorders. People with conditions like stroke, tumors, or psychosis that could affect EEG results cannot participate.

Inclusion Criteria

Able to give own consent

I can do the tasks required in the study.

Exclusion Criteria

I do not have any brain conditions like stroke or psychosis that could affect EEG tests.

Participant Groups

The study is testing a new method called high-density electroencephalogram (HD-EEG) to map brain functions related to movement, sensation, language, emotion, and thinking in people with neurological conditions.
