• Human Brain Mapping of Learning, Memory, and Cognition Using Electrocorticography and Brain Computer Interface Jacksonville, Fla.

  The mechanisms behind how we experience the world, form memories, and make future decisions is poorly understood. We perform an observational study of rare epilepsy patients implanted with electrocorticrographic (ECoG) and stereoencephalographic (sEEG) devices in our epilepsy monitor unit to record brain signals during cognitive and memory tasks. The neural signals recorded during these computerized tasks will be invaluable for not only to discover the mysteries of our cognition, but to also advance the next generation of future diagnostic or therapeutic strategies in countless neurological diseases that affect human cognition.
