Summary

This study looks at how the brain processes spoken language by recording brain activity in people with epilepsy or brain tumors who already have electrodes placed for medical reasons. Researchers will compare brain signals from English, Spanish, and Mandarin speakers to uncover universal or language-specific patterns. The goal is to better understand language disorders like aphasia and dyslexia.
