How social feedback affects brain waves
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how getting feedback from others affects brain activity. Researchers will measure your brain waves while you do simple tasks, which may help us understand how social signals work in the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have epilepsy that is hard to control with medication and are already scheduled for a test called intracranial EEG (monitoring brain waves from inside your skull).
- If you have a legal guardian, you and your guardian can both take part in the consent process.
- You do not have other major brain conditions (like stroke or dementia) or serious mental health conditions (like psychosis or suicidal thoughts).
- You are able to give informed consent (or have a guardian who can).

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.
This study looks at brain wave patterns during epilepsy surgery preparation. It aims to better understand how seizures start, which may help improve future treatments.
This research study looks at how certain brain waves (called theta oscillations) help you focus and prioritize information. If you have epilepsy that hasn't been controlled with medicines and you already have brain electrodes in place for your epilepsy monitoring, you may be able to join this study to help scientists understand the role of these brain signals.
This trial looks at whether brief electrical pulses can help identify and change unusual brain wave patterns in people with hard-to-treat epilepsy. It may help improve how doctors map the brain before surgery.
This trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
