Cleaning up brain signals for emergency ambulances
This study tests a new way to clean up noise in brain wave (EEG) and blood flow signals taken in an ambulance. The goal is to see if these signals can be made clearer, which could help improve care during emergencies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study measures blood flow in small areas of the brain to see if it can help detect cerebrovascular disease. It includes people recovering from a stroke and healthy volunteers, and may help improve future diagnosis.
This trial is testing a portable EEG device (a non-invasive cap that measures brain activity) to help ambulance staff quickly determine if a patient is having a stroke. It aims to speed up diagnosis and care for people with suspected stroke symptoms.
This study uses EEG and MEG scans to create better images of brain activity. It may help researchers improve methods for understanding brain function.
This trial tests a bedside brain-monitoring method (near-infrared light and EEG) in people who are unconscious after severe brain injury from cardiac arrest. The goal is to see whether it can help measure brain function during the first week after admission.
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 tests a new, non-invasive device (brain4care) that measures pressure inside the skull without needing a needle or surgery. It is being used in ambulances to help emergency teams quickly detect high pressure in the brain caused by a stroke or head injury.
