Studying how sleep and wakefulness shape memory in epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how your brain makes and keeps memories across waking and sleeping periods. If you have epilepsy and are having depth electrodes placed as part of your care, your team will also use this information to better understand memory and how it may be influenced.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have epilepsy and your clinical care includes placing depth electrodes
- Your epilepsy surgery team has determined you are eligible after testing
- You are willing to sign informed consent and join the study
- You don’t have other brain (neurologic) or mental health (psychiatric) problems that could make the study unsafe

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 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.
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 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 study looks at how sleep and memory work together in people with epilepsy. You will stay in the hospital for at least 4 days with a video EEG to record your brain activity while you sleep and complete memory tasks.
