First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study looks at how the brain learns to control fine movements, like playing an instrument, by recording brain activity during awake surgery. About 50 people with epilepsy or brain tumors will use a theremin-like device while their brain signals are recorded. The goal is to better understand sensorimotor learning, not to treat a disease.
