Imagine describing a photograph of an oak tree growing in a meadow. Now imagine describing that same image while a section of your skull has been temporarily removed and a grid of sensors is resting directly on the surface of your brain. These sensors are recording where these electrical signals are rising from your brain. The goal is to create a customized brain map that helps the surgical team remove as much of a brain tumor as possible while minimizing possible damage caused by the physical act of removing the tumor.
