Brain recording during epilepsy care, while doing a memory task
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 64 years old
- You have epilepsy and are planning to have electrodes placed inside your brain as part of standard care
- You can understand the instructions given to you
- You can concentrate enough to answer many questions correctly
- You are able and willing to complete the study tasks during the recording
