Brain Mapping Study Using Ultrasound and Implanted Electrodes
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This research study uses focused ultrasound waves combined with brain electrodes (already implanted for your epilepsy or psychiatric treatment) to map how your brain responds. The goal is to better understand brain function and potentially improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21–75 years old
- You have had (or will have) brain electrodes surgically implanted as part of your regular medical care or another research study
- You are in stable overall health and able to understand English
- You can give informed consent and follow all study instructions
- You do not have a history of chronic heavy alcohol use
- You have no other implanted devices (like aneurysm clips or large metal plates) that could interfere with ultrasound

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests the safety of a brain stimulation approach that uses special brain recording and “focused ultrasound” targeted by brain signals. It is designed for healthy adults and checks whether the procedure is tolerated without serious side effects.
This study tests if low-intensity focused ultrasound can calm overactive brain areas in people with epilepsy. It may offer a new way to reduce seizures without surgery or strong medications.
This pilot study tests whether low-intensity focused ultrasound can reduce seizures in adults whose temporal lobe epilepsy hasn’t improved with at least two anti-seizure medicines. You may be asked to track seizure timing and undergo brain imaging before and during the study.
This study tests a non-invasive focused ultrasound treatment for people with epilepsy that doesn't respond to medications. The goal is to see if this gentle ultrasound can reduce seizures without surgery.
This study tests a new device called NaviFUS that uses focused sound waves to gently stimulate a small area of the brain. It is for people whose seizures start in one part of the brain and are not fully controlled by seizure medicines.
This trial tests whether a focused ultrasound treatment can change brain electrical activity seen on an EEG in people with ongoing seizure emergencies. It may help doctors learn safer ways to modulate seizure activity when standard medicines are not fully stopping it.
