Proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Advances in Electrocorticography

- ECoG can elucidate brain function in ways not achieved by other imaging modalities.
- ECoG-based applications are beginning to be used clinically.
- ECoG-based applications are beginning to be marketed commercially.
- Improvements continue in ECoG signal acquisition, analysis, and interpretation.
- ECoG is elucidating fundamental brain functions such as language and memory.

The Fifth International Workshop on Advances in Electrocorticography convened in San Diego, CA, on November 7-8, 2013. Advancements in methodology, implementation, and commercialization across both research and in the interval year since the last workshop were the focus of the gathering. Electrocorticography (ECoG) is now firmly established as a preferred signal source for advanced research in functional, cognitive, and neuroprosthetic domains. Published output in ECoG fields has increased tenfold in the past decade. These proceedings attempt to summarize the state of the art.
