I don't really know what you are responding to here.

As I posited, there is research interest and a few people doing it clinically. Your links support this. What they don't support is the idea that this is typical clinical practice.

For those interested, here's a nice Tweet and video from a neurosurgeon at the Mayo clinic in Arizona demonstrating the use of both fMRI and intraoperative motor mapping: "Preoperative and Intraoperative mapping help with selection, safety and strategy."
