1. A device for electrophysiologically localizing a target areas in the brain, said device comprising:

  • a multi-channel microprobe including;

    a multitude of microelectrodes said microelectrodes being operative to obtain electrophysiological efferences in the target area and forwarded the electrophysiological efferences to an evaluating unit; and

    a tracking device;

    a neuronavigation system operative to positionally detect the microprobe via the tracking device and thereby localize the target area; and

    a computer unit that links data indicative of the electrophysiological efferences of functional areas of the brain and navigational data with one another and outputs the linked data.
