Study Summary

This trial uses brain recordings/stimulation to study interoception, which affects a range of clinical symptoms. Outcomes will aid the understanding of abnormal interoception and its effects.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals with drug-resistant epilepsy who may benefit from surgery. They must be undergoing routine surgical management that includes invasive brain activity monitoring, have sufficient hand use for tasks and questionnaires, normal vision or corrected-to-normal vision, and can understand English well enough to follow instructions.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is using Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), an invasive method to record brain activity and stimulate the brain. It aims to understand how we sense internal body signals (interoception) and its link to clinical symptoms like tics or negative mood.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since SEEG involves invasive procedures, potential side effects include risks associated with brain surgery such as infection, bleeding, or seizures. There might also be discomfort or other reactions related to the electrodes' placement.
