A Study to Evaluate Advanced MRI Imaging to Predict Intracranial Signals in Humans

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the extent to which advanced MRI measurements can help predict brain signals measured with intracranial electrodes.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients 3 years old and older.
  • May undergo or have undergone intracranial EEG recordings as part of their clinical evaluation for medically intractable partial epilepsy, pain, brain tumor, deep brain stimulation or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
  • A healthy control group of subjects age 18-65.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who are unable to go into the MRI scanner; for example, when they have MRI contraindications (e.g., metal implants, claustrophobia or pregnancy).
