Data Dashboard
Who has participated?
This research program started at UT Austin and Dell Children's Medical Center in 2017. In 2020, we received funding (grant #R01DC018579) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), which was also the year that Texas Children's Hospital joined the team. Since then, we have been working together with patients undergoing surgery for epilepsy along with their families to understand how language develops in the brain and how this is influenced by age, epilepsy, and other diagnoses such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and more. We are grateful to all of our patients and their families for participating in this study. Below you can see the demographics of the many participants who have contributed to the research.
Note that this dashboard is updated every few weeks, and numbers may not reflect current enrollment.
