Brain recordings during awake surgery aim to read patients' thoughts

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients 18 years of age or older. 2. Patients with a brain tumor requiring surgery under "awake" conditions with intraoperative placement of ECoG electrodes at Lariboisière Hospital. 3 -Patients with tumor locations close to language processing areas. 4 -Patients having given consent during the interview with the neurosurgeon. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with severe cognitive impairments that would prevent understanding and performing the image-naming task, 2. Patients with major psychiatric disorders that could affect their ability to participate in the research, 3. Patients with inoperable tumors, 4. Patients with tumor locations incompatible with safe or effective placement of ECoG electrodes, 5. Females that are breastfeeding or females with childbearing potential with positive urine pregnancy test or not using adequate contraception, 6. Patients unable to provide informed consent due to cognitive or language limitations, 7. Patients who have any electrical stimulator or any active implanted medical device that uses high magnetic or electrical currents (e.g. patients with pacemaker defibrillator, neurostimulator, drugs pumps, retinal and cochlear device), 8. Any wearable medical device that may cause troubles to the investigational devices and injuries to the participants, 9. Patients with medical contraindications to general or local anesthesia required for surgery, 10. Patients with an active infection or infectious skin lesions on the scalp, 11. Patients with a current use or a recent history of illicit drug(s) use or alcohol abuse (defined as frequent or daily consumption of more than four alcoholic drinks per day), 12. Patients with contraindications to any surgical procedure, 13. Patients undergoing treatment with anticoagulants, platelet aggregation inhibitors, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, 14. Patients who decline to participate in the study, 15. Any specially protected person: adults protected by law; persons hospitalized without their consent, at the request of a third party or ex officio; persons deprived of their liberty by a judicial decision, 16.
