Video Summary

The speaker is discussing their experience and techniques for awake mapping in surgical procedures such as epilepsy resections and tumor resections. They mention the importance of selecting the right patients, studying the patient's anatomy and mapping the brain before surgery. They also emphasize the need to know the patient's goals and educational background, as well as one's own experience and team support. The speaker discusses using strip electrodes and frameless stereotactic techniques for mapping, as well as the benefits of awake testing for functions like hand motor and language. They also mention the use of stereo EEG implants in epilepsy cases, and the challenges of mapping with these electrodes. The speaker presents several cases where awake mapping helped improve patient outcomes. They conclude by acknowledging their mentors and collaborators. The video does not provide any specific credits.
