About this trial
This research project focuses on low-level cognitive functions such as perception (auditory, visual, etc.) and high-level cognitive functions (memory, language, temporal estimation, etc.). It aims to better understand the brain bases of these functions as well as their overlap (i.e., brain bases considered to be involved in different functions).
To this end, various cognitive tasks will be performed before and during awake brain surgery, allowing us to determine the involvement of different areas in the task being performed. Comparing performance between the pre-test and the intraoperative test will help determine the potential involvement of the tested area.
