Brain stimulation study for epilepsy patients and healthy volunteers
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are either having brain surgery to find where your seizures start, or you are a healthy volunteer.
- You can speak and understand English or Spanish well enough for the study tasks.
- You can give your own permission (informed consent) to join.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device.

This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation using electric fields to treat epilepsy, specifically for people who are already having invasive EEG monitoring as part of their care.
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.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called temporal interference to help people with epilepsy that hasn't responded well to medications. Researchers want to see if this approach can reduce seizures and improve thinking or memory problems.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation therapy (TIS) for people with temporal lobe epilepsy that hasn't responded well to seizure medications. The goal is to help reduce how often seizures happen.
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 whether quick brain stimulation can change abnormal electrical signals in people with epilepsy who are already having brain recording surgery. It may help doctors find new ways to treat seizures.
