Summary

This study aims to create detailed brain maps that show where important functions like thinking and effort are located in people with epilepsy. Researchers will use mild electrical stimulation on the brain's surface during hospital monitoring for epilepsy surgery. The goal is to help surgeons avoid damaging critical areas during future operations. The study involves 30 adults already scheduled for brain monitoring.
