Brain Activity Study During Memory Tasks
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This research studies how your brain works during memory tasks by safely recording brain activity you're already having monitored. The study may help doctors better understand how memory works and improve treatment for brain conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are already undergoing SEEG monitoring (special brain recordings) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center
- You are 18 years old or older
- You speak and understand English
- You are able to understand and follow instructions for simple questionnaires

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at brain activity to better understand psychiatric disorders. You may be able to join if you are already having a specific brain-monitoring procedure at Vanderbilt and can complete questionnaires.
This study explores how a part of your brain, called the posterior cingulate cortex, helps control memory. It uses the brain monitoring you already have for epilepsy to better understand how we remember and use information.
This trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
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 your brain represents locations in space, including how it relates to you (beyond your “self”). It uses special epilepsy-related implants or procedures to record brain activity, which may help researchers understand spatial thinking.
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.
