In this research study the researchers want to learn more about brain activity related to speech perception and production.
Speech production is disrupted in a number of neurological diseases that involve the basal ganglia, including Parkinson's disease (PD) and dystonia. The investigators will use a novel experimental approach and combination of analytic techniques to elucidate the contribution of neural activity in cortical-basal ganglia circuits to the hierarchical control of speech production, in subjects undergoing deep brain stimulation surgery.
