EEG study in adults with epilepsy and brain recordings
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older (no maximum age).
- If you have epilepsy, you need a diagnosis of refractory epilepsy and planned intracranial EEG for medical care.
- If you are in the scalp EEG group, you need a probable diagnosis of epilepsy.
- You must be able to give informed consent (unless the study team says consent is not possible, you would not be eligible).
- You should not have certain other major brain or active mental health conditions that make you unsafe for the study (for example, stroke/dementia, active psychosis, or current suicidal thoughts).

This study looks at how the brain processes language using recordings from electrodes placed during epilepsy treatment. If you’re already being considered for this type of brain monitoring, the study’s tasks may help researchers better understand language function in the brain.
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.
This study measures brain activity in people with epilepsy while doctors place temporary electrodes inside the brain. It may help researchers better understand seizures and how to improve treatment.
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 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.
