Brain wave study during memory tasks
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 70 years old.
- You must be able to walk and wear research equipment without help.
- If you have epilepsy, you may need a special brain device (RNS) or electrodes placed for surgery.
- You cannot have used tobacco, marijuana, alcohol, or recreational drugs in the week before testing.
- You must not be legally blind or pregnant.

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 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 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 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 study tests a brain-recording and brain-stimulation approach to help improve memory. It is offered to adults who are already enrolled in a specific epilepsy surgery program and can safely complete memory-related tasks.
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.
