Brain electrode study for epilepsy and memory
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to safely have electrodes placed in your brain, without any medical or surgical reasons that would make it risky.
- You need to understand what this study is about and be able to sign a consent form yourself.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation method called TIEFS. It uses safe electric fields to see how it affects thinking and brain waves. You may join if you are having brain surgery for epilepsy or are a healthy adult.
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 trial studies how stimulating the brain changes communication between parts of the brain involved in emotion and memory. You may be able to join if you are already having epilepsy surgery and doctors will place specific brain electrodes as part of your evaluation.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation that uses harmless electric fields to target areas deep in the brain that may be causing seizures. It is done while you are already in the hospital for epilepsy monitoring with special electrodes.
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 trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
