Brain recordings during awake surgery aim to read patients' thoughts
NCT ID NCT07499479
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether speech can be decoded from brain activity recorded during awake brain tumor surgery. Twenty adult patients will have a special graphene electrode grid placed on their brain surface for up to two hours while they name pictures. Researchers will use machine learning to see if they can predict which picture the patient named from the brain signals alone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
INBRAIN Graphene Cortical Interface (high-density graphene ECoG grid)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better ways to map language areas during brain surgery, potentially improving surgical outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study (20 participants) focused on recording, not treatment. The decoding may not work as hoped, and results may not apply to other patients or settings.
