This trial is testing a new way to map brain function called six-dimensional dynamic tractography. It's designed to help doctors better understand how your brain works before epilepsy surgery and predict how the surgery might affect your ability to speak and understand language. This innovative imaging technique could help surgeons plan safer, more effective operations.
For people with epilepsy who haven't responded to medications, brain surgery can be life-changing. But doctors need to know exactly where seizures start and make sure surgery won't damage important language areas. This study exists to test whether this new mapping technique can give doctors better information to plan safer surgery with better outcomes.

As part of your regular epilepsy surgery care, your doctors will use this new brain mapping technique to analyze information from your brain monitoring electrodes. The study uses advanced imaging and analysis of your brain's electrical activity — tests you'd likely have anyway as part of preparing for surgery. Researchers will study how well this new technique helps predict your language abilities after surgery compared to standard methods.
