Study Summary
This trial is to study how the human brain processes new information, recalls stored information, and makes decisions. This will help researchers understand human cognition and develop treatments for disorders of learning and memory.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 13 or older with intractable epilepsy who are already undergoing invasive monitoring. Participants should have an IQ over 70 and be able to understand and perform tasks on a computer by pressing buttons. Those unable to complete the tasks due to cognitive, psychological limits, or pain cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to understand how humans learn, recall information, and make decisions using various devices: Cedrus response pad for inputs; Adtech micro-electrodes, Neurolynx system for brain activity recording; Blackrock stimulator possibly for stimulating specific brain areas during tests.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-drug interventions focused on monitoring and testing brain function rather than treatment side effects may include discomfort from wearing the equipment or potential risks associated with invasive monitoring as determined by clinicians.
