CortiQ
CortiQ is a clinical tool developed by g.tec Medical Engineering (Graz, Austria) that uses state-of-the-art electrocorticographic (ECoG) technologies and advanced software algorithms to accurately map brain function in real time. It is the world’s only commercially available passive brain mapping system of its kind.
[1] The CortiQ software presents electrodes (overlaid on the brain) that change color in real-time as patients perform tasks. This makes it possible for doctors to modify or repeat a patient's task, which could help provide critical mapping information. For example, real-time maps of finger activity could convince a doctor to ask a patient to move a finger again, or move a different finger, to better map the motor cortex. In addition, the software has tools to map the brain by tracking high gamma activity, which can provide detailed information about brain function.[2]
