Passive Functional Mapping of Receptive Language Areas Using Electrocorticographic Signals

Resective brain surgery for the treatment of tumors or intractable epilepsy often requires localizing "eloquent" cortical regions involved in production and comprehension of language to minimize post-surgical deficits. Among the techniques to identify these eloquent regions, electrical cortical stimulation (ECS) has become the gold standard, perhaps because of its relatively low cost and procedural simplicity (see Borchers et al., 2012 for review).
