Brain recording and stimulation to improve memory
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a brain-recording and brain-stimulation approach to help improve memory. It is offered to adults who are already enrolled in a specific epilepsy surgery program and can safely complete memory-related tasks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are enrolled in the 11-N-0051 Epilepsy Surgery study
- You are 18 to 65 years old
- You are able to understand the study and sign informed consent
- You can do the study tasks that test memory function
- You do not have a disability that would prevent you from completing memory testing tasks

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at ways to improve memory by targeting specific deep brain areas in people with epilepsy. You may be eligible if you are already scheduled for long-term video monitoring with implanted depth electrodes in the memory-related regions (amygdala, hippocampus, and nearby areas).
This trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
This study places electrodes in the brain to learn how seizures spread and how memory works. It may help people with temporal lobe epilepsy understand their condition better and improve future treatments.
This trial studies how stimulating the brain changes communication between parts of the brain involved in emotion and memory. You may be able to join if you are already having epilepsy surgery and doctors will place specific brain electrodes as part of your evaluation.
This trial studies whether carefully timed sound (“auditory stimulation”) can change sleep patterns and memory in people with epilepsy. It may help researchers understand how to improve thinking and memory by adjusting how the brain sleeps.
This study listens to brain activity in people with epilepsy who already need electrodes placed inside the brain. Researchers want to understand how different parts of the brain respond while you complete simple thinking and memory-related tasks, which may help improve future treatments.
