Abstract:
In this talk, I will present ECoG data recorded from populations of neurons in the human brain during controlled experimental condition as well as natural conditions in which subjects freely interact with their environment. I will highlight the convergence of evidence across experimental and natural conditions and will compare the ECoG data with fMRI and electrical brain stimulation data obtained from the same individuals. Evidence from this multimodal approach has given us reasons to appreciate specialization of functions in the human brain.
