U.S., June 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07650994) titled 'Movie-Watching Functional MRI for Mapping Brain Function in Neurosurgical Patients' on June 11.
Brief Summary: We are doing this research to compare a new type of functional MRI (fMRI) called naturalistic viewing (also called movie watching) to standard clinical fMRI techniques. Standard clinical fMRI currently uses multiple tasks such as reading and responding to words or sentences to determine which areas of the brain are responsible for language. Surgeons can use this information to help plan brain surgeries. We hope to determine if the movie-watching fMRI is equivalent or better than the standard task-based fMRI. If so, it could...
