Intra-operative direct electrical stimulation (DES) mapping at the surface of the cortex during patient AH’s surgery. Top Left. The in-house software (‘StrongView’) used for presentation of experimental stimuli (e.g. naming pictures, numbers), which also records audio and video of the patient’s face in real time. Electrocorticography is also displayed in real time. Bottom Left. As the surgeon applies electrical current using a bipolar stimulator, the coordinates of that stimulation are shown on slices of the patient’s pre-operative T1 weighted scan. Right Side. Video of the patient’s brain during intra-operative mapping. Recording electrodes are placed throughout cortex to monitor for after-discharges induced by stimulation.
