How the brain makes decisions during epilepsy monitoring
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how your brain makes decisions when things change over time. It uses the electrodes you'll already have in your brain to learn more about how your brain works, which could help improve treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epilepsy with seizures that are not well controlled by medicine.
- You will already be having electrodes placed inside your brain to find where your seizures start.
- You do not have any known abnormal spots (lesions) in your brain.
- You can understand and agree to take part in the study.
- You must not have a seizure while doing the study tasks.
- The electrodes used for the study must not be in the area where your seizures start.

This study looks at how your brain makes decisions. It involves pressing buttons on a laptop while your brain activity is recorded. The goal is to understand how the brain works in people with epilepsy.
This study looks at how brain cells work during a simple memory task in people with hard-to-control epilepsy who are being monitored in the hospital. You may help researchers understand the brain mechanisms of memory, which could guide better treatments in the future.
This study looks at how the brain makes decisions and forms memories. It uses brain recordings from patients already having surgery for epilepsy to understand these processes.
