Awake craniotomies provide unique and invaluable scientific opportunities for neurophysiological experimentation in consenting human subjects. While such experimentation carries a long history, rigorous reporting of methodologies focusing on synchronizing data across multiple platforms is not universally reported and often not translatable to across operating rooms, facilities, or behavioral tasks. Therefore, here we detail an intraoperative data synchronization methodology designed to work across multiple commercially available platforms to collect behavioral and surgical field videos, electrocorticography, brain stimulation timing, continuous finger joint angles, and continuous finger force production. Our technique was developed to be nonobstructive to operating room (OR) staff and generalizable to a variety of hand-based tasks. We hope that the detailed reporting of our methods will support the scientific rigor and reproducibility of future studies, as well as aid other groups interested in performing related experiments.
