Mind-Reading tech tested during brain tumor surgery
NCT ID NCT07499479
First seen Apr 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study tests whether a computer can decode what a person is saying by recording brain activity during awake brain tumor surgery. Twenty adults with brain tumors near language areas will have a special graphene electrode grid placed on their brain surface for up to 2 hours while they name pictures. The goal is to see if machine learning algorithms can predict the named item from the brain signals, which could help surgeons protect language function.

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 and protect 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 data, not treatment. The decoding may not work well enough, and results may not apply to all patients.
