Proceedings of the Eighth 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 to define disease activity.•Improvements continue in ECoG signal acquisition, analysis, and interpretation.•ECoG is elucidating fundamental brain functions such as language and memory.

Excerpted proceedings of the Eighth International Workshop on Advances in Electrocorticography (ECoG), which convened October 15-16, 2015 in Chicago, IL, are presented. The workshop series has become the foremost gathering to present current basic and clinical research in subdural brain signal recording and analysis.
