Study Summary

This trial aims to understand how the brain creates and executes programs of action on the fly, without prior rehearsal.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for male and female epilepsy patients aged between 10 and 64 who are having intracranial electrodes placed for their condition. Participants must be able to understand instructions and concentrate well enough to respond correctly during tasks.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is examining how the brain responds when creating new behaviors on-the-spot, focusing on specific brain areas: medial temporal lobe (MTL) and ventral prefrontal cortex (vPFC). It involves novel tasks, virtual reality environments, and direct brain stimulation.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this research involves recording from the brain with implanted electrodes, potential side effects may include discomfort at electrode sites, infection risk, or other complications related to neurosurgical procedures.
