Neurosurgeons who want to get additional information about the eloquent cortex and other specific regions, and research groups who want to investigate functional regions of the cortex. Neurosurgeons also benefit from cortiQ’s ability to provide maps in real-time instead of hours or days. Patients benefit from reductions in the time needed for mapping, need for additional mapping procedures, chance of accidental seizures resulting from ECS, and the risk of accidental removal of too little or too much brain tissue.
