Study of brain activity for space memory using epilepsy implants
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how your brain represents locations in space, including how it relates to you (beyond your “self”). It uses special epilepsy-related implants or procedures to record brain activity, which may help researchers understand spatial thinking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You can hear and see well enough for testing (vision and hearing checks may be needed)
- You have either had depth electrodes placed in your brain for epilepsy care OR you have a NeuroPace RNS System implanted for epilepsy
- You do not have other major mental health diagnoses (per DSM-5) besides nicotine dependence
- You have no history of brain injury or damage

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how brain cells work during a simple memory task in people with hard-to-control epilepsy who are being monitored in the hospital. You may help researchers understand the brain mechanisms of memory, which could guide better treatments in the future.
This study examines how the brain recognizes spatial scenes (like rooms or landscapes) in people with epilepsy who may have surgery. Researchers want to understand memory patterns before and after surgery to help predict outcomes.
This study looks at how your brain makes decisions. It involves pressing buttons on a laptop while your brain activity is recorded. The goal is to understand how the brain works in people with epilepsy.
This study looks at how the brain learns and uses patterns. If you have epilepsy that requires brain monitoring, you may be able to join and help researchers understand memory and thinking.
This study uses brain recordings to better understand epilepsy signals. It may help people who need EEG monitoring for clinical care, and it may also use healthy adults as comparison participants.
This study looks at how your brain becomes aware of things—like sounds and images—by measuring pupil size and brain activity. Healthy people may have an MRI; epilepsy patients with special brain electrodes already implanted can also join a part of the study.
