About

This study aims to investigate that neural activity of higher cognitve function of human brain with hyperflexible neural electrode-cortex

Full description

In this study, patients who need intracerebral puncture and indwelling drainage tube, such as intracerebral hemorrhage and hydrocephalus, will be recruited. Before implanting electrodes, patients will be trained to do higher cognitive function tasks.During operation, electrode will be implanted accompanied by placing drainage tube. After operation, patients will perform tasks, while electrophysiological signals will be collected. At the end of study, electrode will be removed.

Enrollment: 10 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 70 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
