Brain activity study for epilepsy patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epilepsy that is not well controlled with medicine.
- You are at least 13 years old.
- Your IQ score is above 70.
- You can understand and follow simple instructions on a computer.
- You are scheduled for brain monitoring as part of your care.

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 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 looks at children with difficult-to-control epilepsy who are already scheduled for a special brain monitoring test with wires inside the skull. It observes how their seizures and brain activity change during the stay.
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.
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 study tests a model-based way of using electrical brain stimulation in people who are having surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy or brain tumors. It uses implanted electrodes to measure brain activity and may help improve how stimulation is planned during surgical care.
